First post..yay~
anyways, been lurking in here for quite a while...(6months?) yeah 6 months..to decide which one should i get to get my own audio delight and enlightement.
4 months and i still have not yet decided on which IEM..
there's so many mixed reviews.
I own a PortaPro, Im happily content with the sound, until i heard my friend's UE TF10 more than a year ago..i can still remember the feeling that i get from those
Not much of a bass head,I love female vocals, Vanessa Carlton, Stacey Kent, Zee Avi, Yuna ( not sure if anyone know her)..and Jazz, all kind of jazz,from old jazz to Nu Jazz, from Frank Sinatra up to Jamiroquai, indie, acoustics, and lately i've been bitten by the Classical Music bug again after listening to Shostakovich symphonies...
listening from my friend's UE TF10..Vanessa singing in her song Twilight it feels to be so intimate to me..as if she's whispering to me ( im a freak).The soundstage, the ability to locate instruments in their specific location is just..uuumph~ I fell in love...i can feel the energy and emotions in every songs I play..
Now, been lurking in here for a while, i know that certain IEM are better for certain genres with their specific sonic signature. Spent hours and hours reading ive narrowed my choice to the 3 mentioned above..
PFEs, e-Q7 or ie8?
Almost bought the ie8, but having most users saying its too bassy and needing it to be EQd..turns me down abit, due to the fact that my source is an Ipod Nano 3g with Fiio E1.
But still in the list due to its soundstage and some people say..the dynamics of it. Would love to be immersed in that intense energy in Shostakovich piece.
then went onto e-Q7, expensive!, but it'll take me 2more weeks till my scholarship allowance to come.
but the fit issues worries me alot, im a small guy, just 5'6"..im afraid it might not fit me small ears.
i dont wanna end up in selling them due to poor fit.
PFE's seems the most sensible choice, but having heard mixed reviews..im still 50-50 on making the dive, but due to it being more cheaper of the two, i could use the extra dosh to get a better source ( Fuze or Clip+ maybe) or maybe an portable amp to accompany it? Being £70 to £90 cheaper i can go for the dive now!! ( im to desperate to get that 'eargasm' again after been waiting for so looong)
Or should I wait since there's going to be a lot more IEMs coming out like the X-jays and UM2 with the new modular cables.
Im open to other suggestions anyways.
p/s : sorry for the long post.
