Hi guys,
I've been looking at Heir Audio's new 4.Ai IEMs as a better compromise between my ER4Ps and UM3Xs, but realistically, I'm looking for the best sound for my money and portability/isolation isn't an issue. Help me out? I know my way aroudn IEMs but full-size 'phones are completely new to me (besides my M50s which are relegated to gaming duty because they're muddy and ghey)
I'm assuming I should be able to get something far more satisfying than my IEMs for the money, so if that's not the case, just say so.
I'm currently using a Clip+ and iBasso D-Zero or laptop + D-Zero (as DAC/AMP).
Looking around, the HE-400 might be a good choice, but I guess that means buying a more capable amp? How much would I be looking at for something that would do all the job I needed it to do? I'm pushing it to justify $400 for the cans.
What I want is something to make songs like this really shine (or if you've heard any of Cecile Corbel's work for the Arrietty OST, pretty much that):
