Hi, newbie here. I tried a set of Shure e2c with my shuffle and was surprisingly unimpressed by the un-eq'ed sound... OK bass and mid detail, but very shy and muffled in the upper registers, sounded barely better than the stock apple buds to my ears. I was OK with the feel of IEMs.... I just jammed them into my ears until they met in the middle of my skull and I was OK.
Anyway, apple.ca is selling refurbed 4G 20GB ipods for $C199 with warranty and shipping... seems like a good deal. I think the Shures with a little bump on the treble might sound OK (currenly using old Sony MDR-V4s... not up to head-fi standards but they sound OK to me and they are bulletproof... however I really need isolation for the subway).
1. Does 4G ipod have bass/treble?
2. Etys might be too shy in the bass for me, I listen to rock mostly. Any other IEM suggestions in that price range?
I'm also probably going to get into some big boomy Sony cans (7506?) for electronic drumset use, as well as some new hi-fi cans (Grado or Senn?) for serious listening... but that's a separate thread.
thanks.
