for dudes that already have these, i just got got them and love them. the only iem's i have had before were ety 6i's and no offense, but i absolutely could not stand them and it turned me off to iem's. they were the definition of cold and analytical (although the detail was great!). in case you might flame me for not knowing good sound if it hit me over the head/was plugged into my ear canals, i own akg k240's and my main rig is an arcam cdp into a roksan amp into dynaudio speakers.
i'm sure everyone on this forum has more experience with iem's than me. is there one in the <$200 range that is like a more expensive/better sounding version of the creatives/senn cx-300's? i realize that the cheapie creatives are more of a basshead sound (which is like a guilty pleasure for me), but the comfortable plugs and not-quite so analytical it drives me crazy like the 6i-sound is more what i'm looking for. maybe the only complaint i have is that i wish there was better separation on the creatives, although for the 35$ that i paid i have no complaints.
keep in mind i do not want to use an amp PERIOD, it will be straight into my ipod. all of my mp3's are burned at 192 vbr. also, i would prefer iem's that do not plug as deep into the ear canal - like the creatives. for any recommendations, thanks in advance!
