IEM Seeker
New Head-Fier
I'm looking for some backup IEM for my work as a sound engineer. My normal headphones are a pair of DT770 pro, but as I constantly use them for work it happens that they sometimes break. So far I have repaired them 4 times for various reasons. So I would like a decent pair of backups that I can use whenever they break again, and that is small enough to always bring with me. Normally I would have a good idea about which headphone I would like to get but it seems like there's been an explosion in the amount of cheap, but good, IEM that you can get nowadays. At first, I was just gonna get a pair of SE215 for backups, but maybe that would be the dumb choice now?
What I’m looking for is a pair of IEM that sounds good but don’t cost too much. Preferably a fairly neutral sound that doesn’t change the sound too much, basically no massive bass emphasis. But since this would mostly be backups to my normal headphones, I wouldn’t be too annoyed if it sounded at least a bit more fun.
I've seen some good reviews regarding several different models and would like to know what you guys think. So far I've been looking at the CCA C12, KZ ZSX, BLON BL-03, TRN V90, and Tin T4.
The hybrid design of the C12 and the ZSX intrigues me and it would be fun to see what that does to the sound. But I wonder if the sound would be good enough for a professional setting as well? Maybe the sound is too "casual" with a very sharp V-shaped curve and highly emphasized bass and highs?
Regarding the Blon, I mostly seen good things about them, but I do worry about its fit. I tend to have issues with every set of IEMs that I’ve ever had (mostly that the nozzles are too short for my weird ears), and if the Blons are known for being somewhat ill-fitting that wouldn’t really work for me.
I've heard that the TRN V90 might be more balanced and neutral, but I don't actually know that. Can anyone of you shed some light on it?
The Tin T4 is in a different price category, but would the difference in quality be worth the increased cost?
To round it all off: I am looking for something that is detailed without lots of bleed and doesn’t have a massive emphasis on either bass or highs. I've been specific about these headphones but maybe there is something else in the same price range that I should be looking at instead?
