Hello all!
First, I have to send thanks to head-fi.org for pointing me in the right direction in my past purchase of the amazing VSONIC VSD3 IEM.
I've gotten alot of enjoyment out of the VSD3's, they took my mp3's to the next level and gave me a listening experience that I did not think was even possible (vs my old pair of IEM's).
However, as these things tend to go, I'm looking for the next best thing, and I think I would be willing to pay 200-300 USD perhaps for an upgrade to an even better IEM, and MAYBE a custom IEM if possible.
I want to point out that I also have bought and have logged many hours using the Havi B3 Pro-1's, and compared to the VSD3's, I was greatly disappointed by these. In contrast to the "full" sound with great bass presence of the VSD3's, the Havis seemed very very flat and treble dominant. I can't really use them for music and prefer to use them to watch youtube videos, ect. ALSO, I cannot stress how much better the VSD3's fit and they do look better as well lol.
Currently, I'm peeking at the FLC Technology FLC 8S (http://www.head-fi.org/products/flc-technology-flc-8s/reviews/14723) and the custom IEM from LEAR (http://www.lear-eshop.com/products/lear-lcm-a1d). I love the idea of a custom IEM to the shape of my ear canal, as well as some of the exterior customizable options available... but sound quality and fit are of utmost importance. As well as the bass presence (as I experienced with the VSD3 but not with the Havis), but I have to point out that I'm not a "bass head" at all lol. I like a balanced sound I guess you could say.
Also I could mention that I have one of the model Zune mp3 players that does not have an equalizer (epic fail on Microsoft's part there) and therefore, I may need an adjustable bass option that is featured on IEM's typically within this price range.
Thanks to all and any recommendations ahead of time, like I said, I am peeking at the two before-mentioned models, but other suggestions are more than welcome.
