Just because it's an IEM, there's no reason it should give special treatment. I expect the same clarity, definition, transparency, tonality, authority, etc. as I would from any other stereo system in my home, car, or PC. The end goal is always the same. It's just a matter of finding the right hardware, install, and tune to get it right. Now there will be limitations of design in stage and directionality, and you'll never actually reproduce bass that will shake your whole body. There are physical limitations to the design. However, stepping beyond that, the sound itself should not be special in any way just because it's an IEM. I expect the same as I do from any other audio hardware. |
