Hello! I'm pretty new to the world of high-end music and I've been exploring these forums for a while now. However, I'm finally in a position to be able to spend about 500USD for my first pair of relatively expensive IEMs. I'm super stoked but now the available options are overwhelming so I thought I would consult you guys for some help as my first post.
I'm looking for an in-ear monitor with solid noise isolation and a comfortable fit over long periods of use. I listen to music more for enjoyment than as a musician. Through some searching, I've come across the Shure SE535s a lot but I've also been seeing a lot of people saying that they've been beaten by Chi-fi earphones at cheaper prices. I've also seen the W40 recommended. Additionally, I've seen some people mention the UE 5 Pro, but I haven't found many reviews so I'm a little apprehensive. In terms of my music preference, I listen to a really wide spectrum of music so it would be great if the IEMs could handle most genres but I understand that that's a tall order so I would love it if they handled rock (including J-Rock) really well! I also don't love overwhelming bass, if that's pertinent information. I tend to listen to music at fairly low volumes.
Thank you for your help in advance!
