New Head-Fier
Hi everyone, I've been purchasing headphones for many years and more recently have become interested in IEM's. Ive purchased many, some I've been personally underwhelmed with (Final E5000) and some cheaper ones Ive taken a punt on out of interest and have been blown away by the quality (Audiosense A0). Of course this is all subjective and very personal. However, some IEM's Ive researched thoroughly and in some ways have been sucked into the hype-train. Ive paid my money and then seriously wondered why people generally rate the IEM so highly. The main offender for me has been the Audiosense T800. First off its so damn picky on source - unlistenable on some, tolerable with hiss on others. Secondly, on the sources that seem to work it has great technicalities (imaging, separation etc), but its tuning is just off (IMHO). The treble is sibilant and the bass domineering. I listen a lot to classical and 30-40% of my albums are simply unpleasant with this IEM. I would take my Moondrop May over this IEM any day. Thats my rant over with. I was wondering what other IEMS people have purchased with great faith only to be hit with great disappointment!
