Hey all!
Before I say anything I want to say I've read this forum to death about IEMs. After doing a lot of research I thought the ER6is would be a great fit for me since what was highlighted by most of you was the neutral sound signature and clarity but as soon as I popped them in and got a good seal I felt like the ER6is were a little to obright, the mids and highs a little to harsh for my ears, being driven by an iPod unamped. The lack of bass left me feeling quite unfufilled.I own a pair of PX100s and I like extended bass and how smooth and relaxed they are even if they do veil the highs a little, I find the sound signature to be non fatiguing.
In short im looking for some IEMS or Canal phones that are smooth and a little more rich. Extended bass would be a plus but the phones should be able to responsd to EQ adjustements. I like my bass but not bloated or subduing. They dont necessarily have to sound like PX100s, but ive found most IEMs are not very relaxing to listen to. After doing a lot of reading the im716s are supposed to be a good deal and they have some kind of bass mode which had me pulling out my wallet but some of you have also mentioned they they tend to lack in bass. is this true for an unamped ipod when these IEMs are in bass mode? I thought about orderings some d-Jays but they arent even out yet.
The most I am willing to spend is about $120 or so.
Thanks guys
