Well now you're significantly limiting yourself as, in all honesty, customs are in another league than even top tier IEM's, at least comparing my old Se530's to my JH13's.

Also look at the CK10

 

[cck5]

you know how when everyone mentions rock in their title for full size cans grado is the first thing said.

well i want the IEM that is recommended like the grado 225I or other models are. i love the grado sound out of these which is like that, or will be best for metal.

IE 8
TF.10
ER4
Westone 3

IE8 and a 1000$ amplifier!! but I think you should get a headphone at this price range. they sound better and have a bigger soundstage, but thats just my opinion.

 

[Morph]

+1 for IE8

 

[cck5]

As far as an amp I'll be spending more than 100.so is the ie8 gonna be the general vote. Keep the suggestions coming.

yep i think im gonna have to give in and tell you to get ie8's also (just not from ebay! - careful of FAKES) but dont skimp out on the amp just incase one day you decide to up a few notches

Another vote for the IE8s. My combo of IE8 (with Complys) and the iBasso Mamba (D4 I believe) is perfect for all kinds of Metal, including Death.

ACS will be soon releasing the new IEMs which combine the best of the T1 & T2. Information from personal communication with Andy @ ACS.

^please state the source.

 

[cck5]

how would the ie8 compare to my 225I's out of curiosity.

 

[sebhuber]

Different beasts.. aggressive vs. laid back, Upper Midrange emphasis vs mid bass hump. Not really comparable....

ok.

 

[cck5]

so are the IE8's really that good to a 1 way decision.

where can i get these from?

You should really consider customs. Otherwise you are just throwing money out the window because sooner or later, you're gonna want customs. No universal is going to be comparable to what you already like, so go with the customs now and put the extra money towards a good amp.
