Which one do you think could be better for this kind of music?

I read a lot about Westone3, UE triple Fi 10 and Shure Se530 and something about Senn Ie8 but I don't know which one could be more suitable for me!

Thanks a lot!

Klipsch x10. Great bass, great clarity, and way cheaper then W3, SE530, IE8.

Is it on the same league of the others?

Headphone Addict prefered them over the SE530 and Triple.Fi's .. when the westone 3 came out, he said the W3 were the best (though if you read here, you'll see that not everyone thinks they're the best) and the IE8 wasn't out by then

What about details and high?

 

[Bojamijams]

I don't know what the frequency curve is, all I can say is that I can hear all the highs in my metal songs perfectly.. they may be rolled off and whatnot, I'm not the most adept at putting adjectives to million different facets of sound, all I know is what sounds right and what doesn't.

The x10's sound very right. However that is only when you use a good amp. When I used my Cowon D2 headphone out, the bass was boomy and drowned out the mids too much. I fixed it with the EQ but just saying.

Now I've another option more, Thanks

I use my se530's for a lot of rock music, and it sounds great. The rolled off highs are a blessing in disguise to reduce fatigue. The guitars are excellent. The bass is tight and focused which may work with your house music

To be honest the shure was my first aim then I read about the treble rolling off so i was worried about the use with rock music (and in particular for guitar)!

The 530's work well with rock because most of the guitar sounds fall midrange. The treble might affect you though, it wasn't a deal breaker for me. Test the iems first as mentioned but since you were looking for opinions, here you go

The problem is I cannot test in person those IEM

I saw on the web the Shure SCL5 but I didn't see on the online-store in the Shure website!

Did they stop the production of SCL5?

Is it of the same league of SE530?

IMO, the se530 works best with rock. the w3 though is considered to be the better hp overall for all kinds of music. I've tried the w3's and have decided to stick to my shures and have never looked back. It really is a matter of preference. Look for reviews of all the hp's you mentioned, I'm sure somebody mentioned iems for rock. Good luck in finding the one best for you. Sometimes the fun part is figuring out which really works.

Thank you for your help!

I have been reading hundreds of web-pages and reviwes for days, I hope to catch the right one for me!

Beware that people normally recommend IEM they own without even heard any other IEM for comparison. That's the worst problem ,imho, at head-fi.
