Hey guys. Since nobody sells Master 4 in my location I need your advice.
I'm currently looking for an upgrade over my Phonak PFE 112. I owned two pairs for 5+ years. First died because of cable, second pair is still working.
Pairing with Cowon D20.
My first option - MEE Pinnacle P1. I have a chance to go to a store and compare them to PFE's.
My second option - Audio-Technica ATH-IM02. Same as above.
My third - Fidue A83. Also can go and try them.
As for the last but not least - Trinity Phantom Master 4... As I said beofre I cannot try them before I purchase and buy.
I loved Phonaks for clarity and precision. Highs were almost perfect for me. And I didn't feel I need more bass. I mostly listen to grunge, indie rock, post-punk, pop-punk, post-rock, post-hardcore, melodic hardcore.
Of course I'll replace my Cowon. Haven't decided yet, but my short-list is: Fiio X3-II (have to say I've read some really controversial reviews...), Cayin i5 and Cowon Plenue D.
