I listen to a lot of Hip Hop and EDM, and I am trying to find the best IEMs for those genres. My first IEM was a cheap Maxell headset from Walmart, which had a phenomenal sound quality for the <$10 price. They had the best bass I have heard in a headphone, but unfortunately my dog broke them. I was not able to find the same model from Maxell, so I tried a variety of other highly recommended models, including:
• Panasonic Egro-fit: Not enough bass, muffled treble (returned)
• Apple EarPods: Great treble/mids but not enough bass (sold)
• MEElectronics M9: Decent bass but muffled treble/mids (returned)
• JVC HAFX1X: Excellent bass but uncomfortable "piercing" treble (gave away)
• Sony MDR-XB50AP: Better bass than FX1, but same problem with treble (kept)
• Sennheiser: Great sound quality, but too flat for my tastes (sold)
• V-MODA: Good bass, but muffled treble/mids (kept)
• And a few other models that I returned or threw away.
Can anyone recommend a good IEM for modern bass-heavy genres, without compromising treble and mid-range quality, for less than $75? I have considered the Sony XB70 and Panasonic RP-HJX5, but I would like more options to choose from.
Also, I have considered buying Comply foam tips for the Sony XB50. Has anyone tried Comply tips with the XB50 to know if they change the sound signature?
Thanks!
