Okay, so I've been putting a lot of thought into this, and I was thinking maybe it isn't too smart of me to jump straight to the UE Super.fi 5 Pro. I'm still new to the audiophile world, and I feel that I just won't appreciate those IEM's as much as I could if I didn't work my way up to them. Plus, I currently don't have a job, so it's really hard to save up money for them, and a pair of decent cans later. Remember, I started out with a pair of MS-1's (which I lost T__T...) and I really liked them a lot.
I've been researching a lot through the various threads, and thought it would be more wise for me to spend AROUND $70 for the IEM's. I was looking at the Etymotic ER6's first, but I read in a thread that the AL im716 tops it. Which one of these is better suited for me, and are there any other IEM's I should consider? BTW, the music I listen to are mostly asian music and I'm not quite sure how I'd categorize them. Examples of the bands that I listen to that are in English are:
The Strokes
Test Icicles
Silverstein
Radiohead
The Postal Service
OK Go
My Chemical Romance
Jimmy Eat World
Katy Perry
Amber Pacific
The Academy Is...
I know it probably would've been better if I just named the genre's, but I'm just unsure on how to categorize them. I guess my taste in music is very broad, and I sometimes even find myself listening to classical music, so I guess that's why I enjoyed my MS-1's so much.
FYI, probably going to get a pair of FiiO E5's when they come out, and either a BSG cMOY amp or Penguinamp Caffeine when I get more money.
