Thanks for the BQEYZ suggestions! I am reading up on them vs the CCA/KZ IEMs and it's mostly good stuff. I'll probably order a pair today and be listening to them around this time tomorrow :)

I appreciate the suggestion. I forgot to mention that I would like the spend no more than $60. After reading reviews, I might give the CCA CA4 a try.

Which Chinese IEMs will deliver the best mid range? I own a pair of KZ ZST, but I am looking for something that sounds better than that. I use my Sennheiser IE8s when I want to listen to bass heavy music and my daily driver are the iBasso IT01. I love the fun sound signature it provides while...

I LOVE my IT01s and I don't own a DAP and usually listen to my music though my S8+, or on my computer. I use a FiiO Q1 Amp when paired with my phone and listen to my music through Tidal. When I'm on my computer I plug my headphones and IEMs into my Objective 02 DAC/Amp and listen to music...

I was searching a long long time for a perfect IEM that suited my needs. For a few years, I used EarSonics SM3v2 and loved their sound. However, the shell casing on the left earbud came apart one day and I was not able to fix it. The wires separated and was no longer producing sound. I...

How much of an upgrade are the IT03s over the IT01s? I own the 01s and love pretty much everything about them but I have always been curious about the hybrid driver IEMs and I am just wondering if it's worth spending the extra money to buy the 03s. I listen to all genres of music, but if the...

How does the IT03 sound in comparison to the 1MORE Triples? They both run dual BA with a dynamic, but I find the 1More to sound almost too warm, like muffled in a way. The sound is not as open and clear as I'd expect.

I currently own the Earsonics SM3s, as well as the Sennheiser IE8i. The two are very different and I love having the choice to switch between earbuds depending on what I'm listening to. I have dozens of earphones and headphones hut these 2 IEMs are my most expensive ones. The thing I'm needing...

Quote: I am fine with it having a different sound.  It would be nice being able to switch between the 900s and the 680s when I am wanting a different sound.  My main concern is the comfort.  I just find that the ear cups don't deep enough so my ear is resting on the hard plastic inside.  I...

Does anyone know if the Pro 900s significantly more comfortable than the HFI 680s?   They look pretty much exactly the same build except for a different ear cover.  The 680s hurt my ears after wearing them for a while.  I want to upgrade to the 900s but won't if I have the same problem as I...

Looking to upgrade from my Ultrasone 680s.  I love the sound but they aren't really comfortable.  They start to hurt around my ears after listening for an hour.  Need something I can have long listening sessions with.  I would prefer something that has a sound similar to these.  I was wanting to...

Go for the Ultrasones.  But I suggest the 680s over the 580s.  I had both and the sound from the 680s is much more balanced.  I really love them.  I've had a few different pairs in that price range and these are the ones I recommend every time. 

I suggest Ultrasone HFi-780.  Good for the types of music you listen to.  Also, the price is very good on amazon

I bought these and sold them after 2 days.  I just didn't like the way they sounded that much.  A lot of people really like them though so it really is about preference.  Just as it is with anything else.  I also felt like I might accidentally break them eventually just by taking them out of my...

imo, the mc5 are a little bit lacking in the bass dept without an amp.  i like mine a lot but i always have to listen with an amp to get them to sound how i want.  the dba-02 is the same way for me.  their bass is better than the mc5 without an amp though. they do have tight bass like you...

I have the Klipsch S4 and they are great and I haven't had any problems with them at all and I got them in December of last year.  I use them daily for multiple hours at a time and have to take them in and out of my ear a lot and still haven't had a single issue with them.  The thin cord was a...

I have the MC5 and S4 IEMs and I think the Etymotic are better with music as long as you have an amp.  If not, the bass can be a little lacking.  The S4s are really fun to listen to and have great bass but the MC5s are more detailed and have acceptable bass with an amp.  For movies, I like the...

FA Eterna or SB, also Klipsch S4.  I love dubstep and listen to a lot of different electronic music and my favorite earphones for that genre are definitely my S4s.  

with the kind of music you like i also suggest the S4s.  They're one of my faves for those genres.  Makes everything fun to listen to.

thanks for this.  just what i needed

Etymotic MC5

DBA-02...you will love them with the kind of music you listen to most

I have both and for really bassy music I prefer the S4.  The IE6 are a little better in the higher range though

HF5 are not in his price range.    OP, you should go with Ety MC5   Quote:

idk about the ADDIEM ones but I have both the S4 and the M9 and the Klipsch IEMs are much better than the M9s...but theyre also more expensive but worth it
