Hey everyone! My birthday it's coming soon and I feel like it's to upgrade my IEMs!
My budget is around $0 t0 $500, and the 3 models I'm considering the most are 1. Heir Audio 4.Ai 2. Logitech UE900 3. Shure SE535
I'm upgrading from Shure SE215s which I have to admit I really enjoy, but sometimes wish for a more coherent sound, some less bass and better treble extension and reproduction (I find sometimes really high noises hurt my ears on them). As far as on/over ear headphones go I have DT880s which I really enjoy with pop and acoustic music but I find they have something lacking when listening to faster paced music, and V Moda M80s which I think are about perfect but sometimes could use some more sparkle in the highs.
i listen to Many different types of music including Hip Hop, some pop, classic rock, alternative rock and a a good amount of indie/ acoustic/ folk (Elliott Smith, Nick Drake, Animal Collective etc) but probably 30-40% of my music is faster/harder types of music, mostly modern (1990s-now) hardcore, metal. progressive, post hardcore music. some reference bands could be Converge, Between The Buried and Me, and La Dispute.
Any feedback on what you think would suit my tastes better would be infinitely appreciated.
