Wondering what should I 'step up' to? These IEMs sounds really good for most of the music I listen to but I feel lacks bass when listening to hiphop. Was thinking of maybe getting the monarch mk2 or the mest mk2. I don't mind buying used and want to keep the budget around $900-1k.

So to start off, question regarding the Itouch 5th gen with it's lightning connector.  I was thinking about buying the adapter so I can still use my 30pin LOD and connect it to my portable amp BUT just read a thread on here that said the itouch 5th gen sounds "clean" already that adding an LOD...

So i started looking for a portable amp...importance being portable meaning it'll run on batteries or a charge for a LONG time (if that's possible).     was looking at the ibasso t3...will that be a good pair for my hd595? i'm planning on buying an LOD (is the one made by fiio good enough?)...

Before i hit the checkout button on these from the sennheiser online store, is there a place (shack/bestbuy/ect) that i can get a replacement that has the same design? i'm currently using one that's just the adapter itself, no cable so apparently it's putting strain on the headphone jack. if not...
