Hello,
I am looking for a good overall Silicone Shell Custom-IEM in the $800 range with the following sound characteristics:
Warm and Musical Sound, Punchy Bass, Good Detail & Clarity with smoothness and not being sibilant, Good Soundstage (Wide and Deep).
Preferably a US based company with good customer support.
I currently own a Sennheiser IE80 and I am really happy with it. Although, on certain tracks it makes me feel it lacks detail & clarity and can sound too warm. So I am looking for something that is warm but not as warm as the IE80. An upgrade in terms of detail and clarity. I like the Bass and Soundstage on the IE80 already. I listen to all types of music so the IEM should be a good all-rounder.
I am leaning towards Shure SE846. As I do not have the option of demo-ing IEMs, I have to play it safe and SE846 seems to be a safe bet. But I just want to see if there is something available in the Custom IEM world that might be better than the SE846.
Thanks for your help!
