The type of headphone I am looking for is (Closed-back, open-back, in-ear, wireless, etc):IEM
My price range is: $250 and below
I like to listen to: A lot of everything
I will be using them for: (Travel, commuting, home, gym, etc…):Anywhere my wife could possibly hear my music.
I love my Grado sr60’s but my wife can’t stand the absolute lack of sound containment. I really enjoy my Monolith M300’s but again, open back planars let everyone hear what you’re listening to. I love my KZ ZS10 Pro’s but lets face it, they are nice but when I want to listen to live recordings or classical and want detail and soundstage, they fall short.
So I’m asking for some suggestions and help. I value detail and soundstage (imaging). I’ve read some really great reviews on IEM’s on these forums but it seems that there a million and one new IEM’s being released every year, so one can get lost. Power and source will not be a problem. I’m currently using a LG V20 and Topping NX1s but will be buying a Monolith portable THX AAA for Christmas.
I want to thank you both for your replies. My post was flagged by someone as inappropriate. I did start this post but then something happened with my computer and I tried to delete the original, but couldn’t.
Back to my dilemma. After listening to my M300’s again, I do love planars. How about the Tin P1’s? Also, after watching a certain YouTuber, he did say that the Thieaudio Legacy line did fit my “details, imaging and soundstage” criteria. I’ve noticed that even the Legacy 5’s are in my price range.
I have no idea why it was flagged, unless someone thought your question should go in the “General Questions” thread. Or, they accidentally hit the “flag” button without realizing.
Hi @hecubus23 , I wanted to apologize, because it was me who accidentally flagged your post as inappropriate.
Of course there was nothing inappropriate about your post. As other have guessed, I was letting the mods know that this was a good candidate to be moved to the general questions thread, but I hit the wrong button, and I can’t unflag it.
Feel free to throw me in the stocks and hurl rotten vegetables at me.
