I am struggling trying to figure out what the best IEM would be an upgrade for me.
I listen to a wide range of music but primarily:
I have also owned A LOT of other headphones: Momentum 1, 2, and 3; Vmoda M100; Focal Bathys; Sony XM3, XM4, and XM5; Ety ER2XR. And countless others.
I have a set of LETSHUOER S12 Pro's on the way as well.
My audio sources are: Sony WM1A, THX ONYX, and Qudelix 5k. All using either Tidal or flac/DSD.
I am wanting to find a set that I can use every day that will be my TOTL. I don't know if that is the Xenns Top/Up, MEST, Monarch, or whatever.
Sorry for the short story, but I really appreciate any help I can get.
I listen to a wide range of music but primarily:
- post-rock
- progressive rock
- electronic
- jazz
- CA Andromeda 2019
- Like - soundstage
- Like - instrument placement
- Dislike - bass. There isn't quite enough.
- Dislike - Very sensitive, I have plugged them in and forgot that... not a good feeling.
- DUNU SA6
- Like - vocals
- Like - sounds like the Andromeda a bit
- Dislike - sounds like the Andromeda a bit (I wanted an upgrade when I bought this, I guess I misunderstood)
- Truthear + Crinicle Zero RED
- Like - the price, like... seriously? This is chi-fi now??
- Like - soundstage. It's Andromeda, but it's nice
- Even - mid-centric vocals
- Dislike - Compared to Andromeda and SA6, something is missing, not sure exactly how to put it.

- Like - Bass
- Like - Planar sound
