I've just joined HF after many reading hours. I don't see somewhere to introduce myself specifically, so I guess this is a good place to start.
Spent the day reading, comparing, sizing and refining lists and trying to fix a budget. In the end I was tossing up between the Brainwavz HM5's (and any variation I could get to Oz for a chunk less), and the T50RP's. Keen to get into modding, but worried the stock sound of the T50RP's would slow my interest rather than helping it.
Somehow the HM5's are under $90 here in Aus right now, so I'm happy to spend more than I normally would on super-discounted bits.
I've been trying various cheap IEM's for about 5 years, had a basic set of Senny cans 10 years back, but in the last 9 months started getting dabbling again in the budget. recent purchases include:
Superlux, Stretch O'Neill (very cheap, started modding), Munitio's (again, really cheap), Sony MH1C's and Brainwavz Hm3's (nice once you bend the band), Fiio E6 and E10 (the E6 was a gamble and the E10 helps my lappy put out cleaner notes).
As you can tell, budget is always in mind, I think I'd rather have 5 nice toys than 1 great one (how do you know if you can't compare)... I'm keen to start modding properly soon, much more reading to be done and need to get my collection of tunes in order (think its time to re-rip a lotta CD's properly.
Aside from the head stuff, I'm also building a tiny sub box to amp up supplement the newish deck. I have not tackled subs in cars for about 8 years when I had a pair of 15" in my boot, that was a lot of fun.
Looking forward to my new cans, contributing and maybe tackling a review down the track.
Cheers
