Well my Westone 3's have finally bit the dust with a cracked shell. I have had them re-cabled thinking about a reshell, but might be time to move to something else. I like good old metal, but love good recordings like YES, Floyd, Roger Waters, etc. I don't like speed metal or thrash or hip-hop.
Musical tastes:
Source: HDTracks - Mac, Streaming.
Amp: Ray Samuels - Predator
Budget: I would prefer to stay below $500 - but could stretch it if not super crazy.
IEM Type: Prefer Universal but am open to Custom
Edit: Should mention what IEMS I am considering (but have not heard)
Musical tastes:
- Classic Heavy Metal (Priest, Maiden, etc)
- Some Jazz
- Newer Metal (Whatever I find)
- Classic Rock - Pink Floyd, Beck, YES, etc. The good recordings.
- Good isolation for work
- Musical
- Good first "high-end" IEM.
- Little harsh in the upper end
- Imaging was a bit lacking
- Bass was a little bloated
- Meh midrange
- Cleaner bottom end with more weight without bloat.
- Imaging and Soundstage - I want to see the instruments.
- Non fatiguing - I need to be able to listen for hours at a time
- Midrange and treble that is clean and not smeared.
