Hey guys, I've been lurking the forums for the past week because my sony earbuds decided to get 2 shorts in the wire right where the l/r split and I've been trying to figure out which IEM I should get to replace them.
I am unsure what sony model they are but I've had them for a few years and I believe I payed around 100 bucks for them (before I really knew about better iems for the same price) but Im sure whatever you suggest will be a great upgrade.
My budget is about $100, I may be able to go up to $150. I listen to many types of music such as rock, metal, jazz, blues, funk, classical and sometimes I like to score music so soundstage matters slightly but it isnt my main concern. I mainly listen to things like Steve Vai or Marcus Miller so I would like an an IEM that keeps everything natural and neutral, I dont need the phone to have an extra bass or treble or anything. Also I have a Cmoy pocket amp if I feel the need to amp my phones (yeah Im an audiophile on a budget hah).
The main IEM's Ive had my eye on are the Re-Zero, Panasonic Rp-hje900 and the DBA-02. I realize that the Re-Zero is the only one that is $100 so please suggest more phones in the $100 range for me. Also I noticed the DBA-02 is out of stock in the american store so I'd have to wait longer to replace these shorted out phones. But it seems like the DBA is a real winner here so I might have to deal with a period of no phones if I can scrounge $150.
Thanks
