Hey guys,
after spending the last two days mostly searching through deals and reading reviews I finally give up and turn to you for help.
After my Sennheiser IE7 (who were alright when i bought them but haven't really been fun for a while now) suffered from a broken cable I'm looking for new In-Ears.
I enjoy a rather analytical/balanced sound using old Heco Acterior 2000 (1989 studio monitors) and a AKG K550 with a Meridian Explorer mainly, which i both enjoy a lot though they could both be a little more detailed imho.
The In-Ears will also be driven by the Explorer or by my Nexus 5 which doesnt have the best sound quality whatsoever.
The music they will be used for mainly:
85% well produced electronic music: Trentemoller, Trifonic, Infected Mushroom, Morten Granau, Daft Punk, Bonobo, KOAN Sound, Peer Kusiv...
5% movie scores: Hans Zimmer, Yann Thiersen, Assassin's Creed OST...
5% HipHop: ediT, Eminem, Kanye, Jedi Mind Tricks
5% random stuff in varying quality
The emphasis should be on the sound of the headphones not adding a lot but instead detailing the music, just showing what's already in a great mix. I don't mind if badly produced music sounds bad. But I need those headphones to show me every little detail of a Trentemoller or Max Cooper song.
My price range goes up to 400€ = 540$. though many headphones are more expensive in germany.
What I've picked out so far are the following:
Westone 4 R (I can get them for 324€ with black friday deals so I would need a recommendation asap
)
Shure SE 535 (380€)
Audeo PFE 232 (230€)
StreetLive 2 Customs (350€ including earprints)
CustomArt Music One (250€ including earprints)
I'd be happy about any help as soon as it is possible.
Please tell me bluntly if I have any misconceptions.
Sorry for my bad English, I'm not a native speaker as you can surely see.
Thanks in advance and thank you for taking some time for my request.
Best Regards,
Alex
