I swear, there's dozens of threads on these phones, but I really need a personal one, because there's some stuff that are personal, about these phones.
First off, I have DT880's, and I plan to power both the IEM's and the DT's with my CMOY. It's a BSG one, so it had dual gain, one set for my DT's and one set for IEM's. Since I don't have any IEM's (Unless you count my now-broken CX300's), I really don't know how they help the sound.
I'm looking for some new IEM's, and I'm looking at around the 200 mark. I don't want customs, they're too much a hassle for me, since I live in Europe. I don't want Atrio M5/M8's either, they're too ugly, and I don't like Shure IEM's because of some experience with E3's and E5's, both of which sounded like, eh, poo. I'm also for a tad more low-end than the DT880's give me, because it's slightly anemic while stationary and it'd only get worse on the bus and so on. So, more lows than DT880's, please?
I put the CMOy in my jacket's breast pocket when on the move, so I like the short cable on the Q-Jays, It's really a shame the UE's don't have any real short wires, that I know of. Or can I order 20-inchers somewhere?
I'm a Rock listener, and I favor highs slightly above lows. I know the UE's have both and seem a little low on mids, but how the Q-Jays sound? I can't seem to find a good description of their sound. To anyone who used them both: Which one do you think sounds better for classic/soft/medium rock? Which one has the closest sound signature to DT880's?
Then there's comfort. I know you can switch the UE's left/right cables and make them much more comfy, from the sound of it, by wearing them down insstead of over your ears. But, I think the Q-Jays are much more comfy, right?
I just don't know which one to go for.
EDIT: I also want to know: how do Shure Olive tips fit on either of these phones? I might want to use those, since I can ge thtem easily and they look very comfy.
