Hey Guys
Im no audiophile but ive been experimenting with a few mid-fi iems under 120$ but somehow i couldnt find the right sound signature
Ive searched around here on head-fi but most of the options mentioned here are really expensive for the genre i listen to
I listen to alternative rock , metal and all of rocks subgenres except death metal nd hardcore etc
im basically looking for a guitar driven sound with deep punchy bass(i need a really good amount of bass) and a good amount of treble
i heard that a fun V shaped sound is the best sig for rock
i want to enjoy my music and listen for extended periods of time without getting bored
so i guess a colored sound is what im looking for (correct me if im wrong)
ive owned the Klipsch image s3 , velodyne v-pulse , RHA- Ma350 and most recently the shure se215 ltd
decent iems but i found all of them to be lacking for rock , particularly in the guitar part and soundstage
when listening to the se215 i found them to be a bit boring like i hear the music playing , but thats it , no enjoyment , nothing
anyway in conclusion im looking for an iem with a fun sound with a wide 3d soundstage
im choosing between these iems but feel free to add more as i want my next iem to be a keeper
Klipsch X10
fischer audio consonance
UE 700
Thinksound Ms01 or ts02
Maybe Monster turbine pro gold
Yamaha EPH-100 if i can find them as i heard they were discontinued
Sorry for the Long post
Thanks so much in advance
