100+ Head-Fier
Before I plunk down hundreds, I really need your expertise. I recently bought a FiiO X5ii and FiiO E12A amp. Next: The headphones...the big spend.
I mainly listen to FLAC files from HDTracks: rock-n-roll (80s, 90s, 2000s...Huey Lewis, Linkin Park, etc.) and *especially* FLAC files in the trance/house/electronic genre (Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, etc.) Two questions:
1) Going for Sennheiser IE800 or Shure SE846. Which IEM will be best for my musical tastes?
2) Will the FiiO E12A do those IEMs justice, or do I need to spend on a Portaphile Micro or Vorzuge Pure II+ (or even an Aurender Flow)? Reviews indicate those perform well with IEMs.
What else do I need to consider? Thank you for your help!
