Hi guys its been a while since ive had to get new iems so i havent exactly been updated on new releases.But my CKR-9 has died and now im looking for a replacement pair that can hopefully surpass the CKR-9.

I prefer a clean detailed sound and preferably a W-shaped signature. Essentially a V-shaped signature with boosted mids. Bass quality is prioritised over quantity. The sound must also be resolving and have good instrument separation. Big soundstage would be an optional bonus

My budget is about 200 dollars but i might be able to push it to 250 if really necessary.

Thanks in advance!!!

To give a rough idea of the CKR9s sound here are a few personal conparisons.

Sony XBA 300-AP sounds similar but the CKR9 has a more cohesive sound with higher quality bass and a bigger soundstage.

JVC FXH 30 has more bass quantity but loses in quality. The FXH 30 has a darker overall sound and loses out in detail and clarity.

1 More Triple Driver has a comparatively recessed treble and loses out in treble detail. Bass quality on the CKR9 is significantly better but the bass has a touch less quantity.

The closest sounding iem ive heard to the CKR 9 is the RHA T20 with neutral filters. Bass quantity of the two are similar but the CKR 9 comes ahead slightly in terms of bass quality. Mids and treble of the CKR 9 are similarly clear and detailed but the RHA may sound strident and sibilant at times. The RHA T20 has a larger soundstage.

In terms of sound signature the Audio Technica M50X is almost identical to the CKR9.

Thats all the comparisons i remember. Hope it helps.
