Hi everyone
My current Hifiman RE-0's are starting to break at the cable connection to bud so I thought it was a good excuse for some new ones.. slash an upgrade.
Initially I thought I had nailed the timing as Hifiman has an awesome black Friday sale on the RE-600S which would be a decent upgrade but unfortunately looks like it is now out of stock.
So that brings me back to square one...
Music I generally listen to and enjoy would be electronic, dance, new wave, vocal, classic rock and perhaps a bit of pop/indie. Fav bands include Bon Iver, The xx, Pink Floyd, Whitney, Flume, Led Zeppelin, RY X, HONNE, Arcade Fire, Chet Faker, St. South, Hot Chip, TV on the Radio, alt-J, xxyyxx just to name a random selection.
In terms of the sound signature I'm after, I would probably be leaning towards Bassy but also enjoy Balanced.
My budget sits around $200 plus or minus a bit for the right IEMs. I have an entry level full size headphone setup at home so these will primarily just be used with Spotify on my phone at work or when out and about.
Any help and recommendations would be much appreciated!
