Hi,
I am looking to buy a new pair of IEMs. I recently Boarseman CX98 and found the sound to be a bit too flat for my taste. I do like a little bit of bass in my sound, but not too heave. Also, I would definitely not like the sound to be too piercing either (audio noob here, sorry if I messed up the terms). So, I found these 3 models from provocative ear:
Boarseman KR49
Einsear T2
MEMT X5
(all ranging from $10-$16 max)
Right now, I am not willing to spend more than $20 on chi-fi IEMs.
From the reviews I see that the most popular is Einsear T2 - I am not able to find/figure out how well it compares to the other 2 earphones. I am very happy with the build quality of the CX98 I have right now, but I'm afraid the KR49 might have a similar signature as the CX98. I am not sure about MEMT X5 - from comments in hiFi and from other forums, I get that it's a bass-heavy IEM, but not sure how well it compares to T2 in other areas.
Can someone please make a few suggestions as to what would be better out of the 3 models I've mentioned above or if any other model is better than the ones I've mentioned?
Thanks!
