Hi all,
So, I'm on the market for a new set of headphones given I just lost my IE 8s
And I thought I would ask people for suggestions of what to look at.
I loved my Shure 535's becasue they were good with the mids, not to heavy on the base and sounded great for Jazz, talk, and rock. I liked the full sound stage. I did not like how thick the cable is and how bulky it is. But I lost them about 2 years ago and bought the IE 8s.
I did not like my IE8s. To much base, mids did not sound as good as the Shures to me.
I would by the Shures again, but money is tight right now and I rather spend about $200. I found the Etymotic HF5's and they seemed like a good choice and then I looked UR TripleFi 10 Noise Isolating earphones, but I was concerned about too much base with them and not enough mids.
So, anyone have suggestions of what else I should look at and comments on the two that I have been looking at. Should I just bit the bullet and get the Shures again.
Appreciate any thoughts on the matter.
Thanks
