Hey all, not a new user to the world of Head-fi, but I am relatively inexperienced when it comes to the strengths and weaknesses of specific earbuds/iems. So that is why I am posting a thread.
I am looking for a set of earbuds that I can use during commutes and time spent at the gym, and when I am on my workbench at home. There are only a few things I need: decent attenuation of outside sound, comfort, and best possible sound. I have a tendency to enjoy a rather neutral sound signature with a bit of warmth in the mids and a tiny bit of treble emphasis. Sound stage is pivotal, but I imagine getting great sound stage on earbuds would be a hard feat to accomplish.
Musical genres that these would be used to listen to would be: classic rock, symphonic metal, heavy metal, bossanova, classical, but above all, Post-Rock.
My budget is can extend up to 300, but maybe a bit more if the cost is justified.
