I have just recently begun a project of mine where I will attempt to own many different IEMs. The reason I am doing this is because I know that all IEMs are all built for mainly their own reason, whether it be soundstage, bass quality/quantity, their lows/highs, etc, and I want to have a diverse collection of the many different POV's in the music scene, rather than being content with just one IEM.
Starting this off, I purchased a pair of Monster Turbines. At the bottom of this post, I will keep a list of all the IEM's I own, along with what reason I bought them for, and how I will use them. Also, just throwing this out there, all IEMs are listened on a Zune 30 w/ the acoustic equalizer enabled, and mostly with metal/hardcore music.
I purchased the Turbines due to their clarity/instrument separation, isolation, and overall bass output. I am mainly using them for sleep listening, and drum playing. I play drums and the quality these Turbines put out for the drums in songs is pretty phenomenal. The soundstage is decent, and tells me a pretty good idea where all the cymbals are placed, the highs are pretty nice with the different variety of cymbals (China's sound a little off if they are hit too hard or are too big though), and the lows are very nice. Not that big of a range at all, but the impact of the bass is pretty strong.
Here is where I will post what I am currently looking for in my next IEM purchase: For my second IEM, I am looking for something I can use on the go, on the bus, in the library, and anything involving not being at my house. In this choice of selection, I will mainly be looking at IEMs with a high bass range, and a pretty dynamic soundstage. This IEM will mainly be revolved around all sorts of bass, just as the Turbine is, but maybe with a different sound signature and potentially stronger? Isolation isn't really a big deal here since I am actually never in extremely loud places, and anything else I might be forgetting isn't important enough for me to remember it.
Also, with every new IEM I purchase, I will try to put out a little mini review in a new post, just to potentially assist someone else who may be in the looking for that same pair.
Currently looking at for this IEM choice: FX500, CKS70, IE8, M5
