[size=medium] [size=11pt]Hello Headfiers,[/size]
[size=11pt]After having a few issues with buying overseas I have decided to buy from Australia only for the moment. This very much limits my choices of IEM that I can access.[/size]
[size=11pt]I am trying to choose between the Ety HF5 or Sound Magic PL50.[/size][/size]
[size=medium] [/size]
[size=medium] I did own the Hifiman 601 with Re-zero, but did not enjoy it as I found the treble extremely harsh, but I also think I was having an issue with getting a good seal.
[size=11pt]The only IEM that I currently own is the Ety ER6i. I dont mind them but find them slightly bass shy and also a bit harsh in the treble. I have no issue at all with deep insertion, actually I quite like it.[/size]
[size=11pt]I have read that the HF5 is vastly superior to the ER6i so I figured this would be my next upgrade.[/size]
[size=11pt]But the reviews I have read regarding the PL50 intrigue me. The idea of a mid-centric IEM interests me as I love vocals more than anything else. [/size]
[size=11pt]I am also about to receive a second hand ibasso T3.[/size]
[size=11pt]The HF5 would cost me $159[/size]
[size=11pt]The PL50 would cost me $90[/size]
[size=11pt]My sources are Clip+, Ipod classic and Ipod touch (I would be using a LOD with the ipods).[/size]
[size=11pt]Music preferences are varied, but mainly music like, U2, Pearl Jam, Kings of Leon, The White Stripes,etc.[/size]
[size=11pt]So, HF5 or PL50?[/size][/size]

[size=small]Any input would be appreciated.[/size]
