Wasn't planning on buying new IEM's but my current pair broke and 11/11 would be the day to replace them.
My budget is $150. I was thinking of trying out a wireless set this time but it's not a requirement. Must be comftorble and have a replaceable cable though.
Music I listen to:
I listen to a really wide range of music so I need a jack of all trades. I listen to everything from inabakumori (vocaloid), king gnu (j pop?), led zeppelin, black sabbath, and portugal the man.
My previous earphones have included blon 03's, thieaudio legacy 03's, moondrop arias (as mentioned before) and my current headphones are akg k712 pros.
Not really knowledgeable at describing sound so forgive the poor comparison.
Preferred sound:
My arias were my favorite earphones I have tried on. The blon 03's were a whole ton of fun and I appreciated the wildness which came from it's very v (m?) shaped sound signature but found that the bass bled into the mids creating a bloated feeling. The bass was plentiful but it was my boomy when I prefer tighter and percussive.
The arias on the other hand felt more professional while still keeping things fun. No part of the frequency range really felt muted but when a song put emphasis on things like high vocal notes or a bass drop it still felt like it hit. I am looking for a fun sound signature which is not neutral but doesn't do poorly in one part of the frequency range to make another part look better.
Edit: What do people think of the galaxy buds pro 2? Bit more plain than the other sets being recommended but it seems really convenient and according to some people sounds excellent.
