Hello everyone.
I'm new to head-fi. This seems like a great source!! I'm in the market for a new set of IEMs for my ipod, PC, stereo, etc. I'm big into orchestra music, band music, and the best band in the world...radiohead. I'm looking for a great set of IEMs, non-custom, that has great clarity over the low, mids and highs, with a little bass kick if needed. After scouring the internet, I'd feel comfortable buying one of these IEMs or something similar: Sennheiser IE8, Shure SE530, or UE TripleFi 10. What are your thought's on these? What is best based on what I listen to? Any others I should be looking for? Also, what is the typical burn in time for these higher-end IEMs? any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!!!

For those types of music be sure to consider sound stage before you purchase/during your research.

Well, I was like you, searching on amazon, and there were Shure SE530 and TF10. But it's not just those few, there choices are abundant. It just depend on your preference and your budget.

In that case I suggest having a quick look at http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/des...ossary-220770/

I too should get around to reading it, the longer you troll here the more you find out. Don't rush into any expensive purchases without making 100% sure you will be happy and fully understand what you are paying for.
