Hi Head-Fi'ers,
I'm looking for some new IEM's, my budget is about €250. I now use the Klipsch S4 with the small eartips, but like an upgrade in sound quality. I listen to all kinds of music; pop, rock, alternative, jazz, classical and some electronic music. I'm not a basshead, but do like some bass. My sources are an iPod classic 80 Gb and an iPhone 4. Both are unamped, but I may buy an affordable amp if the sound quality will improve from it (maybe Fiio E6 or E11?).
After an intensive search I ended up with the shortlist below. All of these can be found in the Netherlands for €250 max.
Sennheiser IE 8
Shure SE425
Sony MDR-EX700
Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10
Westone 2
The problem is that I can't make up my mind about which one to buy. I keep going round in circles with questions. Are my ears too small for the TF10 to wear them comfortably, will the Westone 2 sound too analytical, are the Shures overpriced etc.
I would love to hear what you guys would recommend me. Perhaps there are even other ones you think I should take a look at.
I hope you can help me. Thank you for your time.
