A change has stirred in me

So, I’ve come to a point in my life since I first got into this chase of the better sound that the hunt began with headphones. I started with v moda m100 then ath m40x thennnn tr60p,
th900 mk2, Neumann NDH 20 and its been a fun ride. Then for gym and work purposes I needed something less bulky so I was introduced to the IEM world.

My first IEM was the bgvp dm6 right before the hype train came into town, I enjoyed them but felt I wanted to more. One day I walked into an event in NYC called can jam by random and saw all the equipment and iems there and lost my Sh!t when I heard the u12t (which I now own btw) it was world’s apart for what I had and never knew Iems can get so good almost as good and some better than headphones.

Here I am now owning more IEMs than headphones and I got used to them over HPs because of easier portability. I’m sorry for the long body of blah blah but I’m so surprised at myself but overall I do enjoy owning new gear that makes me wanna hear my music collection all over again with a different sound signature and that’s what it’s about for me, the sound of the music. If you made it all the way down here then thank you for reading and I would like to know if you switched or have made it to where you have a nice balance between IEM and HP.

I am more headphone tilted at the moment, but it’s great that you have figured out what works for you and what you like :+1: Also it’s easier to store iems, so you can have more lol. I would get more iems, but I am very content with what I have now iem wise, and really don’t currently feel the need to upgrade

Don’t get me wrong I love the headphone experience especially the aeolus which I want to own one day but i feel the iem game is constantly evolving and improving at a much quicker rate than headphones that I’m finding it hard to believe it myself. With the right setup anything can make music sound great imo

Yeah iems are evolving at a much quicker rate then headphones at the moment lol. Very hard to keep up with

any thoughts on an m shaped IEM that would rival the Stellia’s but at a much friendlier price?

I have never heard of an m shaped iem. Do you mean w shaped?

I mean, I would much rather take my hyla ce-5’s over the stellia, but I don’t think I have had enough experience with higher end iems to give any true recommendations.

well, the Stellia’s have a m shaped FR.

A new IEM convert here too, the 64A’s U12t is a bit above my pay grade lol but the Fiio FH7 will probably be my next purchase :+1:

If you ever get a chance to try them out please do they’re really nice.
