Hello my friends,
 
Just bought an iPhone, and now i need some iem with a mic.
Been doing some research and narrow it down to Etymotic HF5, Phonak Aúdeo 122 or Klipsck S4i,
but would like to hear from you.
Probably they’ll go amped with Pico Slim
Thanks in advance!
 
(i know this is a very subjective one; personal taste..etc...etc..but really wanna hear your thoughts)

It'd do you more good to choose a cheaper amp with similar capability, something like the Arrow amp, and use the 100 bucks you save to get even better IEM.

If you want something more portable, you may be able to live without an amp at all.
 
HF5 for the most analytical, clear sound.  Expect a cold sound sig with a lot less bass quantity.
 
Audeo for the most balanced sound, not skimping on highs or lows.
 
S4i for a pretty balanced sound, but more leaning towards the lows with a very warm sound.  Great isolation, extreme comfort, great bass.

Thank's for your replys.
Wich one will perform better amped?
The comfort is also very valuable to me, i actually use X10, PK1.

I had Etymotic hf5.
The best pros, i would say the clean and refined highs, not fatigue sound, and extreme isolation.
 
But amongst everthing he does well, there're two main cons.
First, the lack of bass impact (not depth).
Second, they're not practical for street listening.
