Hi everyone
I currently have the Etymotics ER-6i and wish to upgrade.
To give an idea of the music I listen to - well, I am not a bass-head and don't listen to R&B, hip-hop, heavy metal, or electronica.
My favourite music is more acoustic, vocal and rock. The ER-6i are great for clarity but I am looking for some IEMs that will take the quality that step further with even more clarity, depth and power......just sound quality that will take my breath away I guess!
The natural thing to do is to get the Etymotics ER-4P. However, for a bit more money I can get the other big guns like the Shure SE530s, Klipsch Images and UE Triple Fi.
What I am wondering is are certain IEMs suited to a specific type of music?
For example, will the SE530s and UEs be better for bass-heavy songs and not offer the amazing clarity for songs with more acoustic emphasis? Or are they just better in every department?
Any advice would be appreciated - I realise most people prefer bass and I do as well, it's just that I need the bass to be punchy and clean, and not overpowering.
Thanks
