Hey guys! I need some recommendations regarding IEMs. I'm just going to copy paste the Reddit form so it'd be easier.
Budget - $150 at most
Source - Laptop, phone, FiiO X3ii in the future
Requirements for Isolation - None really, as long as they don't leak like open-backed 'phones
Preferred Type of Headphone - universal IEM
Preferred tonal balance - i hate sibilance. Mids >= Bass >>>Treble for me, I guess.
Past headphones - NAD Viso HP50 (I love these, using them mainly for dorm though) Soundmagic ES18s (Upgrading from these. They're generally good but lack detail and kinda blow up at higher volumes) Mi Pistons are more or less the same as ES18s.
Preferred Music - Indie/Emo, Metal, Post-hardcore
What would you like to improve on from your set-up - Looking to upgrade from my ES18s. Would want a well-built IEM or ones with detachable cables because I break cables very very easily
IEMs of interest:
FiiO EX1
RHA MA750 (currently my top choice)
ATH-IM50/IM70
Brainwavz B2
anything from SoundMAGIC
Shure SE215
