I'm curious to see where this sits. Most people when doing a vs. just say "well, IEMS are more intimate" but it never really goes past that other than "Full sizers have a bigger soundstage"....I don't care about isolation or the lack there of, aesthetics, or size. Hell, not even easily driven.
So, does say a $1K headphone stand up to a $1000 IEM or am I way off base here?
Example, PS1, or Ed. 9 vs UE10 or UE11.
And I'm not talking necessarily those specific cans either, I'm talking in general, for the dollar, which is a better buy with SQ being the bottom and only line? Again BOTTOM line, at the end of the day....doesn't matter the road you took to get there (mods, custom iems, whatever), all that matters is, how it is.
