100+ Head-Fier
Hi,
I have been out of the hobby for a while and just recently got an upgrade bug from having more time at my desk setup. I'm looking for a semi-highend IEMs with reference sound signature (I like sparkly highs and loads of details) but not sterile (decent amount of bass though I am not a basshead). I will be using Chord Mojo from my MBP or iphone to drive them. My current IEMs include Final F7200, Sony EX1000 and Aurisonics Harmony. I like each of them for the things they do well but would like to combine them into 1 package with a step up in overall sound quality.
I'm looking into the StageDiver SD5 and Andromeda. I was going to get the Andro but it worries me that there are complaints about comfort (important since I have tiny ears) and tbh even the rounded 2019 shell doesn't look comfortable. The SD5 looks very interesting and I'd love to try a German IEMs (I'm a Beyer fan) but I didn't find much details on how they perform when directly compared to Andromeda. I also looked into Noble K10U but the general consensus seem to be they are boring sounding so they are now at the bottom of the list unless someone has a different experience.
I would appreciate any inputs from those who have experienced or owned any of the 3.
