Hi, my current set of shure 215 is starting to have cable problems so I'm looking to upgrade.
I've narrowed it down to a few choices available from the local shops, with the shure 425 as my first choice. The 215 is the most comfortable iem I've worn so I'm drawn to that design.
Audio source will be from samsung yp-u5, nano 4g and 6g, and sansa clip zip.
The top part of the list are all in my current budget, but could stretch to include the lower part if the sound quality increase is worth it.
Current list of IEM within my budget from cheapest to most expensive:
PHILIPS FIDELIO S1 /BK
AUDIO TECHNICA ATH-CKR7
SONY XBA-A1AP
WESTONE UM PRO 10
PHILIPS FIDELIO S2 /BK
WESTONE W10
SHURE SE425/SILVER
WESTONE UM PRO 20
SONY XBA-A2
------------------------------------------------------------
WESTONE W20
SONY XBA-A3
AUDIO TECHNICA ATH-CKR9
SENNHEISER IE80
Or should I stick with the 215 and get a portable amp like the TEAC HA-P50 instead?
thanks for any advice
