Hi everyone!
I'd like to buy new IEMs for around $300. I mostly listen to rock/metal rap sometimes and "melodic dubstep" (Linkin Park, Deftones, Papa Roach, Eminem). I really enjoy bass (subbass?), so I thought IE80s ($280) were good (and it has i think a huge soundstage) but I'd like the sound to be clear too (not too much mid bass I guess). I use that Loudness EQ on my iPhone when I can, but I usually listen to music without EQ because I use a third party app (Deezer). On my PC I have a THX software, where I use "Crystalzer" and "Speaker" (enhances bass, "crossover frequency" at 63kHz).
And I use them 5 hrs a day and sleep with them, so they have to be comfortable.
Here are the IEM I have already used : MDR-EX310LP, MDR-EX510LP and Apple Earphones (I currently use the EX510LP and MDR-XB700 headphones.)
So the source will be my iPhone 5 and my PC (on board audio on a Z77A-GD55, 320kbps MP3). (Maybe sould I buy an external sound card?)
So what do you think about the IE80s? Any other suggestions? Thanks!
