Hello everyone,
I've starting looking for my first pair of quality IEM's to upgrade from some V-Moda freq's that recently died. Based on my (rather limited) audio experience, I think I would prefer a "fun" sound overall, a solid amount of bass is important, but detail is a close second consideration in terms of SQ and harshness really bothers. I found the V-Moda's a bit too bassy, and 'muddy'. Durability is also a concern, as I have a tendency to be a bit rough on gear. My price range is preferably somewhere from 30-80$
Here's what I've come up with so far, after lurking and reading ClieOS's and other excellent reviews:
iMetal 0590
Ai-M6 (Is there a difference between this and the M6?)
RE2 + Fiio 3/5 - possible to up the bass on these?
RE0 + amp (if they are really worth double the price of RE2)
Klipsch s4
Soundmagic PL50
Fischer Audio Eterna (still difficult to get in US im guessing?)
Nuforce NE7M
As you can see, I'm indesisive.
Just wondering if some of you guys who have been around the IEM world could give some advice.
Also, I'll be using these for walking, at home/work, and on the bus.
