I’m not sure just how portable you need your setup to be, but I run my Sundaras from the 2.5mm balanced port (~20USD cable required) on my Qudelix 5K when I’m walking around the house. There’s plenty of overhead on the balanced output to mess with EQ and still get the Sundara uncomfortably loud...

They go on all of my IEMs that don’t need a wider bore for the sake of tuning. They insert easily (unless your ears stay unusually dry) and...

Hi, OP! Funny enough, I have all of the IEMs that you listed in the poll, but I haven't tried the SHP9600s or any of the IEMs you currently own. Just looking at some frequency response graphs for the gear you own, it looks like you like some boost in the midbass (instead of solely subbass like...

Thanks for the tip! I've heard nothing but praise for the Etymotic IEMs, but I haven't tried them yet. For some reason, I always thought that they had rolled-off bass, but from a quick look at the graphs for the ER2XR and ER3XR, they look pretty solid. I think that the ER2XR would probably serve...
