I tried the S4 on the recommendation of a member (best buy 30 day return policy) and decided that the warmth isn't my cup of tea. So.
I am left looking for a dynamic IEM in production that has a bright, though not harsh sound signature, with crisp and sparkly highs. Unlike most other dynamics, I would rather the base be punchy instead of dark and all encompassing like it is on the Atrios (this does not mean anemic or totally lacking in base like etymotics). I would like mids to be well presented, and perhaps even a bit forward. Also, it should have a musical sound, rather than an analytical one. What I mean by this is that although I want to hear details, I would like it to be an IEM which draws and immerses a listener in the music, as opposed to immersing oneself in the details like most BAs tend to. Decent build quality and comfort are of course preferred.
I simply want to know what's out there, so please ignore cost. Also, if you happen to know of a BA earphone that sounds like this, I'm more than happy to take recommendations.
Head-fi, I welcome your collective wisdom.
