Hello all,
My wife is an audiologist and she wants to upgrade my ear gear. I just got a new iphone 4 and I want to get some new buds. Do I go with the custom molded RH1's (custom single driver earbuds with a flat outer for easy on/off with a helmet because I ride motorcycles, but they are just single driver only), or do I step up to the ES2's (dual driver custom musician monitors, not as flat for helmets but would still probably do just fine), or do I go universal fit Westone 4's? This step would cut my wife pretty much out of the process, and I do kind of want custom ones, but the audiophile in me wonders if the 4 universal is so much better that it doesn't matter that my ears are completely occluded, especially if I'm only running 1 or 2 drivers. Thoughts? Thanks for the help.
P.S. cost is an issue. The universal 4 price range is about the most I'm willing to spend, and I'm leaning towards the ES2's, even though they are a little out of the price range.
Just did a little more research and it looks like the AC2 might be the way to go?
