Hello all!
I'm looking to sell my UM3X for something a little more fun. I love the neutrality for so many genres, but I find I listen to music a little less with them than something with more surprise, sound stage and fun. It turns out I do like a little V in my frequency, but more like a smirk than a full out smile.
I've had the IE8 in the past and am considering them again. I found the mids a little recessed on the IE8 and could have enjoyed a little more treble presence (or maybe clarity or extension; not sure how to describe it). Also the price is quite high. I've read some of the other dynamic threads to get some advice but wanted to describe my own scenario.
I listen to lots of jazz and classical, but also some new age, rap and a good dose of rock, but bass is not my favorite. I find that I love sound stage.
Any recommendations of the dynamically driven iem for me?
Thanks!
