I've been lurking this place for a while, it has been very informing/entertaining... but I think I could certainly use your experience
So I need IEMs for listening to FLACs/LAME MP3s w/ my old Cowon D2 in the subway
I'm pretty much an audio noob, I've only used some JVC Marshmallows until now
I'm also not a musician, so I don't really expect to have much of a 'refined ear'
I do like my music though, I listen to classical, hardcore, 90's rap and everything in between except for metal and 'droning dance electronica'
Anyway, what I like the most is a 'live music' sound
Also I don't want muddy/mumbled bass, it would be nice to be able to tell the notes apart
And finally, I like to be able to hear all/most details in the music (but they don't have to be the 'centerpiece' of the experience, I like 'mood' to be at the spotlight—am I making sense?)
And I'd like them to be fairly sturdy, because I'm pretty clumsy/heavy-handed
I'm willing to spend ~$120, but I'm really skeptical of the actual difference between that and say, a $70 product.
Anyway, I hope you guys have some good suggestions/experience to share.
Cheers!
