Hi Head-fi,
I have been a lurker for a few weeks now but I have finally got around to making an account. I've had my fair share of dynamic headphones (usually bass-heavy, or fun type sound signatures) , but I've never used an amp. Even when the headphones would require a lot of power. Since then, I backed away from all the audiophile stuff and have been just listening and enjoying with what I have. Now, I am craving for something a bit better. I got a bit over $500 dollars from a summer job and I was wondering what was a good setup I can get with that money.
Here's what I'm looking for:
-Decent Portable Amp (I've been thinking about the Fiio E11)
-BA IEM meant for serious listening (balanced, accurate, yet engaging)
I listen to all sorts of genres so I am looking for some IEM's that will give me how the recording was originally intended to sound. Although, it doesn't have to be too analytical as I don't listen too deeply when I am simply enjoying music.
I've been eyeing the Heir Audio 4 Ai.'s, Westone UM3X's, and Audio Technica CK10. Please let me know your reccommendations and thank you very much.
