Hey, thanks for your in depth review Shotgunshane.
I have a couple of questions for you. I'm looking for an uprage from my Etymotic ER6i, the only pair of decent IEM that i've owned. I would be using them in the office (open space) most of the time where i listen mainly to tranquil electronic music like ambient, chillout, Café del Mar, ... But when i go on a trip i would be using them for all different types of music: dance music, house, reggae, rock, drum and buss, ... I do not listen to classic music. And important for the moment, i will not be using an amp.
What do you think will be a better 'allround IEM' for my kind of music taste: the JVC or the RE262? From what i've read it seems that the JVC is easier to drive without an amp, what is your opinion?
In other words: do you think it's better to buy a more 'fun' phone (JVC) as allround and maybe giving in a bit on quality for the chill music or a more neutral one (RE262) and giving in a bit on the rock/dance part?
For what it's worth, my experience with the ER6i has been very good.
thank you very much for your reply!
