Hello head-fi members,
I recently bought a ipod touch, however, my sennheiser CX-300 broke the same day. Looking for some IEM's in in the sub-$100 priceclass i accidentally found the re-262's in the multi-IEM review, and stretched my budget.
So now i am planning on buying the re-262 with a Fiio E6 amp and the lighting to 30-pin + Fiio L9 cable.
After reading many reviews i am still not sure if this is the best combo for my taste in music. I listen a lot to the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Arctic Monkeys kind of rock, but also a lot of radiohead/MuteMath/U2/Muse and some jazz and acoustic music now or then.
I also read the summer buying-guide and everywhere i read something about the re-262‘s they say it is not bass heavy. For years i have listened to the CX-300’s and being a bass-player i sometimes liked the bassdrum to be very present and loved a deep, open E to dominate for a moment. I am a bit afraid of missing that, and a possible lack of bass is the only thing holding me back currently.
Being used to the bass-heavy CX-300 (what was, not knowing better, a great IEM for me) and knowing what i mostly listen to, do you think i will still love the re-262’s?
Another way of phrasing this: The CX-300 are bass heavy while the re-262 are not, however they are in different universes when it comes to sound, does that mean the re-262 have the same amount/more bass but with more mid+high, balancing them out?
