where are Swing IE800 sold. Also which foam tips do you use with them?
Thanks for getting back to me!
i have been doing more reading since i posted the question, this is the crossroad i'm at:
i can buy a few cheaper headphones, but deal with my wife complaining that i got too many headphones
or i can just buy 1 more expensive one, i'm leaning towards shozy zeros that's got so much hype.
i was looking at the PMV-A01 but what you said is true, to listen all day i probably want something darker
that said, now you're making me want to get the zircons!
anyway i listen to a lot of 00s indie rock
a bit of dance
and sometimes i really enjoy some good vocals, florence and the machine, regina spektor - samson (great track)
but when i don't want to think, i just use my spotify discover weekly playlist
which begs another question, does it really matter if i listen to 320kbits compressed music?? haha
maybe i can just get the zircons and call it a day!

I buy it from EASY EARPHONES on Aliexpress, don't think they are sold anywhere else and they sound way better than the pricier Tingo DIY IE800 (I try it and sound congested....you pay for the stupid sennheiser sign on it).

Very good Foam tips that I use on most of my earphones (you need to write to the seller for the size and color):

Wow guys, you people are sure interesting to read!
Now, after reading through thousands of messages in both this thread and the official Asian brand one, I have a simple question.
Is there a pair that you would recommend to listen to metal and heavy music? (August Burns Red, Born of Osiris)
I was debating on a sub-30$ pair from Easy, but there are so many that I do not know what would be the best pick.
I know that most IEMs under 100$ are pretty meh for metal, but surely some of these obscure set can perform awesome!
Okay then, hehe, I will stop testing them with hardcore jazz rock band Elephant 9....wait, not right now because it sound good!
I really suggest you to use or buy memory foam eartips....with the wrong eartips it sound WRONG.
Driver need a little air space to blossom and some tips included make the drivers to exposed and make the Swing sound distant and bright.
Hope you will like them!!!
I listen surely to some kind of ''metal'' from experimental Norway scene, will check out what can be interesting for you in what I have...will try the Swing IE800 first because they sound great with guitars, slap bass not sure tough.
I think that earphones that sound very good with Classical symphony have good chance to sound very good with complex Metal tracks.
Got a friend that is the bassist of ''Epiphany from the Abyss'', don't know if you know this band? Quite a killer bassist if you ask me.
Anyway, perhaps I should lend him some earphones to know wich one is his favorite!
Will come you back with some suggestions dude.
Cheers!
