Fiio fh7 partner.

[Richy d]

I've been reading in the iem section of the forum and it seems a bit of a minefield so many choices and recommendations and not having the opportunity to try before you buy as you do with over ears makes it all the more daunting.
So I thought asking you guys might help narrow down my choices.
I am looking to get a pair of items to partner with my fiio fh7s that I have had since their release date.
I am not too up on all the terms used to describe sound signatures so hopefully you will be able to understand what I am trying to say.
I am looking for an iem with a slightly sweet and fast sound with fast and punchy bass but not too much bass a shimmering layered and sparkling treble plenty of sound stage and good imaging.
I've heard a friend's fh9s and found them way to bassy for my liking.
The two I am looking at for now is the fiio fd7 and the sennheiser ie600 but it's not released in the UK yet and I can't find out when it will be.
My budget is 1000 English pounds.
My source is the fantastic ifi
gryphon and I listen to all types of music.
Sorry for the long post but I have to try and get it right the first time.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Good luck, I'm about to sell my Mest MKII because I honestly like the FH7 more. I've tried the FH9, Variations, Monarch, Oracle, etc. None of them sound as good as the FH7 to me, regardless of price. I'm sure there's better out there but you might end up having a much harder time upgrading than you think.

I think your right about the fh7 being difficult to upgrade from without spending a lot for any real improvements.
After having them for such a long time I am more after something with a different sound rather than an upgrade.
Only owning one pair of iems I should be ashamed of my self.
I now have the meze advars and the Andromeda 2020 on my radar.
I used to use the fh7 with the fiio q5s and now with the ifi gryphon and with the ifi gryphon they really do sound great.
