I am currently using a pair of Sony MDR-EX500 and wish to upgrade to either the Sleek Audio SA-6, Sennheiser IE8 or Phonak Audeo PFE. I had only auditioned the IE8 as the other two are not available in Singapore. So far, I do like the sound signature of IE but the bass may be a bit powerful for my liking (even at lowest setting) I had read rave reviews on both SA6 and PFE stating they are comparable to top-tier IEMs. The fact they are available at almost 1/3 price of IE8 makes them more attractive options.
I listen almost entirely Japanese pop songs and most of them feature female vocals. I prefer a wide sound stage and clear vocal. Will still prefer enough bass to listen to bass-heavy songs but emphasis is still on vocal thus Audio Technica CK10 is out. Which of the three will you guys recommend? Which one will have better synergy with the iBasso D10 amp I have? Are there any other candidates I should give a try? TIA
