Christmas IEM IKKO OH10?

IEMs / Other In-Ear Monitors (IEM)
1

I am looking for a set of IEMS for my son for Christmas. Last year we got him a pair of Blon BL05s which he brings to school everyday, (10th grade) he has taken good care of them. He likes them and they served the purpose we got them for, basically cheap and we wanted to see how he would treat take care of them.

I have Mooddrop Starfields and FIIO FH03s he really likes the FH03s and wants those. I am okay with getting him them but find it difficult to to purchase the same IEM’s, when we share them. I was thinking of getting him something like the IKKO OH10’s and whichever he likes more he can have. Wanted to see if there was another IEM I should look at in the sub $200. I am willing to go higher if the IEM justifies it.

In my opinion, the right choice. I would suggest OH 10 or NF NA2 +.

What does he like on 05s? What’s his library like?

Just remember OH10’s are hefty…that might be worth considering :man_shrugging:

PS sorry for my rudeness…Welcome to HFGF :smiley:

He likes almost everything about them, except the lack of bass. He likes mostly Hip Hop and and EDM, mostly.

Thank you for the welcome. I am somewhat concerned about the weight of them, but it is one of those things i will not know until we try.

OH10 will be great. Just be aware that it is heavy, so longer sessions will be a problem.

Another note you might want to get him (and maybe yourself) a pair off good tips, it get him a better seal (which helps with the bass) and it might help with the weight (a good fit would move less and keep the weight from shifting)

I personally like Spinfits but if foam is more your thing Dekoni is always a solid.

Thanks we use spin fits too. I might need to try the dekoni tips if he is having some trouble with falling out though.

Thanks, I am going to watch for the sales. The lowest i saw them was $150 so good to know they have gone as low as $130.

The Eclipse look interesting. I will wait till i hear some reviews. Thanks for the visibility.
