A little back-story never hurt anyone
Due to a recent promotion I am now recquired to travel all around. Now I have a proper set-up at home which includes an old MacBook, an HD 650 and a Nice schitt amp a friend bought me for my birthday. Money really isn't an issue I just wanna see what I can get for the budget given. I'd also like to make a little budget buyers guide one day and I'm kind of putting pieces together for it.
Why not buy some Kaiser IEM or something if money isn't an issue?
Now I'm not the kind of guy to shell out a weeks wages on a pair of cans just yet, as I don't think I can bring myself to do that. And since I can't really take my HD 650's with me on planes and subway stations I need something a bit more portable.
Now I know know next to nothing about IEMs , CIEMs or UIEMs so I figured I'd go to the friendly experts here on head fi.
Needs / Wants
Just a pair of in-ears that I can take with me on the go that sound nice.
Prefered sound signature
I love jazz and instrumentals, vocal-heavy indie music, new wave, anything by daft punk, some electronic, movies, games, some light rap listening, anything from the hotline Miami soundtracks etc.
I guess I want something similar to the V-moda sound signature (or at least as its presented), crisp and clear highs, forward Mids and more of an emphasis on bass and lower mids.
I also heard the Sennheiser ie-80s are really good but it's well above $150 CAN. Unless you guys say I should just shell out the extra $100 and buy a used pair off of amazon, I'll just wait.
