Very nice @Gavin C4 , I could have probably saved myself thousands of dollars had I just quit with this little rig myself Always enjoyable and can be worn all day long without fatigue

Ahhh, the SE215. They were among the first IEMs that I purchased in the early stages of this hobby (obsession?). Things have escalated a lot, since.

Still, fond memories.

Hi

That's a well-timed reply. I've just bought a FiiO X5ii from eBay for trips away and the beach and wanted some IEM's for under £100 for it. I was thinking about the SE215, but as you've pointed out, things have progressed.

What would you shortlist? I really like the Fidue A83 and have used it on a couple of good DAP's (FiiO X7 and QP1R), but it's a little more than I wanted to spend for this occasional DAP.

Regards

Darren

What about the MEE Audio Pinnacle P1 for £138.

@Darren Cotter Since there are lots of brands for IEM out there, I am not able to follow all of them. Recent listenings, I found that the Campfire Audio lineup and Audio Technica ATH-E40 are quite promising. For the audio technicas, at your budget, they are also Dynamic drivers same as the SE215. Maybe campfire's utilization of 3D printing for the IEM camber might bring the tuning to a next level, but the certainly brought the price to the next level. Try to audition them first as IEM at the $100 price point might have some major flaws or signature that you don't like. For example the boomy bass of the SE215 that will occasionally cover up or reduce the clarity of the vocals.

Picked up these tia Fourté from the Classifieds for a good price. By "good price" I mean over double what I've ever before paid for a piece of audio gear. Now I'm scrambling to find a way to pay them off.

Cannot wait for your review!!!

Cannot wait for your review!!!

Here's a quick one for you: Best IEM's I've ever heard. Better than Encore. Even better than my favorites, the U12.
