i've found a few threads covering this already but i'm looking for updated opinions from people who've heard multiple ones. please don't talk about canalphones or iems. i've owned ety er-4s and really enjoyed the sound but they're just not practical and quite uncomfortable. this is for portable use only. my source is a sony nw-a1200. i do have a portable amp but never use it so that's not a factor.
i started off using senn mx500 and currently still use them. the sound signature isn't offensive (although treble is lacking) but i'd like something that's more resolving and cleaner (the bass is a bit flabby and notes sound distorted). i tried at cm7ti for a while but wasn't happy with them either. they had more detail than the senns but the highs got a little harsh at times and had a hollow signature which i thought was pretty distracting and were heavy so they'd fall out all the time. have a pair of v-moda remix on its way looking forward to finding out how those fair...
the ones i haven't tried are yuin pk1, sony e888 and b&o a8. would appreciate comments on those. basically i'd like to know which earbud you feel has the cleanest sound of the bunch yet also elaborate on their sound signature, strengths & weaknesses. and obviously if there is a different model that i havent mentioned.
