Hi Guys
As the titel states I'm Trance / Techno Fan who needs help to find the near perfect listening experience in this genre.
To start of I want to tell you some things about my past gear and my current gear.
I started the search for the "perfect" listening experience with a shure se215 which i quite liked but died after a while because the cable broke down.
After that I wanted to get something better and after some research I bought the ultimate ears triple fi 10 for just 170$.
These earbuds were a revelation for me. I heard nuances in the bass und sub-bass from which I never knew they existed. I really loved these earbuds despite the fact they were not very comfortable. But after a while one of the buds broke and I had to look for a new in-ear.
So i deciced to go back to shure because I liked the se215 and thought, hey if i go two tiers upwards I should get an even better experience than I had with the triple fi.
So I bought the se425. To that time i did not know anything about the overall sound signature of a headphone. So I was really disappointed when I tried to get the best out of the 425 and it always sounded quite flat. Never in my life my favorite genre sounded so boring as with these earbuds.
After a while I couldnt stand it anymore und I decided to switch to over-ear headphones. Thats when I bought my V-Moda M-100.
Regarding Techno and Trance this headphone made a difference like night and day to the 425 and I could finally enjoy my music again.
But now I have the v-modas for nearly two years and im thinking, hey there might be even better quality out there.
For my personal taste the v-modas really sound awesome, but im missing the detail I could hear in the bass and subbass with my triple fis.
Right now my source is just my sony xperia z3 with spotify in extreme settings.
Im willing to pay quite a lot of money for a near perfect listening experience.
So the following thoughts crossed my mind and here comes the point where i could really use some help.
I could switch my source over to a FiiO X5II, buy a lot of CDs, convert them to flac and have more detail there.
But here I dont know how big the impact will be and whether all the work to buy and convert CDs will be worth the effort or not over the extreme quality of spotify.
I think I could switch back to in-ears and for the first time even to custom ones, to get the most of my money.
Here my favorite from what i could read is the JH Roxanne. But im really hesitant, because its a looooot of money and i dont even know whether this iem is suited for my taste or not.
And without the possibility to try it out its a really difficult decision to make. The 1650$ are my absoulte upper most limit i would pay for CIEM.
On the other hand i thought maybe a UE 11Pro is good enough for my needs and its 500$ cheaper then the Roxanne.
But the difference is "just" 500$ and the difference in hardware are 8 drivers less per side.
But then again, will a FiiO X5 II be good enough for the Roxannes? I dont know...
The A&Ks I always see on the screenshots when someone reviews these CIEMs are just too expensive for my taste.
Then again im reading about the shure se535 or 846 which could also suffice, but the 846 is so expensive that i think a CIEM is the better investment? I dont know...
Are there any other Trance / Techno audiophiles with deep but not endless deep pockets out there who can help me to find the right gear?
For me one track would be the ultimate Test the setup should easily handle: Deadmau5 - Gula.
As a summary of what im looking for: A setup that costs at most 2500$, which provides precise and clear highs and mids and perfect bass and subbass. Something that will let daft punks - the game has changed, sound even more epic and huge.
Thanks for your support guys.
PS Im from switzerland, so please excuse all the mistakes I made with my english.
