Hey
Sorry to be making another thread on this. I searched on it and found a couple, but unfortunately I was left with more questions.
I'm looking for a set of IEMs, at about 30$. I listen to a lot of rap/hip-hop, a lot of acoustic, and 90s pop rock (Third eye blind, nine days, etc.). After obscene amounts of searching, I think I'm looking for either the m9 or pl30.
That said, i like bass, which it sounds like the m9 has. I'm worried that it might be a little powerful though, and block out some other sounds (sorry for the lack of terms, I'm new to this). The bass doesn't need to be HUGE or anything, but I want it to be there ya know? I don't want just the flat, bass noise, I'd like to have a least a little punch. I'm generally worried that it could just overpower other parts of songs. I'd rather have good quality sound and weaker bass, then a loud bass that could muddy out other sounds, or worse sounds on songs without much bass.
I'm really feeling the look of the soundmagic pl30s, and they seem like they'd be good. I've heard the bass is pretty quiet, but is it at least there? Does it have at least some oomph to it? Also, I'm really concerned about the hissing problem i've heard about. I plan on using this with a Cowon j1 (or something like that, some Cowon). I read that depending on the source you could get some hissing. I don't plan on getting an amp or anything, do you guys think the hissing would still be there? If so, how noticeable is it?
Comfort would also be important. I'm usually not too fond of IEMs because they feel annoying in my ear after a while, but i think I'll go with one hear (haha, audio puns.). I've heard the pl30 is more comfortable, but how much so? Is it decision making?
One last thing. Do these guys leak sound a lot? I dunno if thats how to phrase it, but i'm just worried the bass off the m9 would be too loud for a study hall at school or something. I understand this is mostly to do with how loud i put it, but I was just hoping one might hold the sound better than another.
Thanks for any and all help guys
