Hie there,
Was burgled yesterday..... got tons of stuff stolen including my new laptop, mp3 player, my Sennheiser CX300 and Shure E5C.
*groan*
Right..... so now I'm looking for a new pair of IEMs. I don't have a budget but i don't want to jump on the most expensive IEM out there as well. I can go all out just like I did before with the Shure E5C, or even anything cheap but has an overall excellent sound signature, like the Sen CX300.
Reason why I'm not totally ready to jump on the top end ones, is becoz' I don't like the Shure E5C sound....... those who said it was warm.... I'd say it was muddled...... gone were all the details I normally hear even on my cheapo old Sonys MDR-XD200.
That was why I ended up with the Senns CX300.... didn't believe the hype anymore about paying top Euro for something that produced (IMHO) subpar results. I was totally surprised with the CX300 being able to produce enough detail and yet wasn't overwhelmed with booming bass.
So, what I'd like to ask is for your recommendation/opinion on:
1) non-mold IEMs
2) no Shure E5C "warm" (what I would call :muddy") sound signature
3) what in your opinion is the best IEM in terms of detail and just enough bass, and the best sound/price ratio ie. value for money.
