Hello,
I just finished rooting/updating my Nexus S 4G with Voodoo Sound and, surprise, surprise, now I want new IEMs.
I listen to my lossless CD rips (FLAC) from a modified WD MyBook Live using BubbleUPnP via Wi-Fi at home and the same collection transcoded/uploaded via Google Play when in the office or car (mp3/320). No music is stored on the phone (although both apps cache recent tracks).
At home, I plug in my Grado RS2i phones and enjoy... in the office, I haul out my Shure SE420 IEMs, but with my new mobile rig, I have a big frown on my face when the music starts.
Stupidly, and on total impulse at Best Buy, I picked up a set of Klipsch S4a IEMs. For $99.00, I guess they're fine, but with the microphonics issues and the bloated bass I can't see sticking with these for long.
Can anyone recommend a replacement for the Shures? FWIW, I've seen a number of Head-Fi member's signatures that indicate both Grado and Westone, so I am considering trying a set of Westone W4, but I am nervous about spending 400 on another set of phones.
Thanks in advance for any replies...
