Hello, out of the akg n5005 and ie600 which would be more suitable for instrumental/classical music?

I've had the IE600 and it's got excellent imaging for hearing different instrument locations like an orchestra. Because of the compact design, it doesn't have the large sound stage though, but extremely comfortable to wear with the shape they made them. If you want accuracy and good isolation they're excellent. I haven't gotten the AKG yet, but maybe someone here already has.

Owned N5005 3 years ago at the full price, and now it is only $200 for a brand new set, if you are on a budget, N5005 is the best choice at its price, but the fit may be weird for some ears (including me). However, if the price is not your concern, I recommend IE600 since its fit is pretty nice. Regarding the sound, I found that both have a good stage separation and position, but IE600 definitely has a better low-end quality and quantity.
