Hey everyone! The Lovely Flea here seeking your guidance and wisdom.
 
I play keys, sing, and write/record music.
 
On stage, I'm usually plugged in to an Aviom personal mixer.
At home, I've been using the Centrance DACport Slim for general music listening.
I don't generally record non-software instruments, but if I do, I use an Apogee One (for TRS, XLR, etc). Mostly creating in Logic Studio.
 
I've been using the Triple.fi 10 Pro in-ears for years until they broke a couple weeks ago.
 
UPGRADE TIME.
 
There are so many good companies with wonderful customer service and reputations. I've though about and researched each of these extensively. My indecisiveness though is mainly due to Alclair, Noble Audio, and Empire Ears (but the others are appealing as well, UGH SEE?).
 

1. Alclair RSM
2. Noble Audio Savanna C
3. Unique-Melody Mage
4. Empire Ears Spartan-IV
5. 64 Audio A3
6. Perfect Seal PS6

 
Budget: ≤ $800
Sound Signature: Natural / Neutral / Flat (i.e. "Reference")
 
Any thoughts on which CIEM would best fit this context?
 
Thank you,

Thanks Mython! I've definitely perused that thread and looked through theheadphonelist reviews, but I shall ask there as well. Still haven't come across many reviews of these CIEMs addressing recording or live stage monitoring. Thanks again for the help!!!

Are you aware of Westone or UE? Pretty close to your budget and very good sound. I feel they both deliver the sound stage and breath at a fair value. Check them out!

Thank you so much TSAVJason!
 
I have. Ultimate Ears is wonderful. The models in my price are not exactly what I am looking for nor are Westone's (also a great company). Excellent suggestions my friend!
 
Maybe the UE 5 Pro?

sorry iPhone goof! Yes the 5 is a good place to start. Everybodies ears are different so go explore and have fun! It's ok to be a seeker of great audio

I'm also looking for a CIEM with the same signature.  The Savanna C is top on my list.  Did you ever end up ordering something?
