I’m searching for iem’s in price range like +/- 150$
Currently i’m using HD58X and they are awesome, but want something closed to not bother my girlfriend when she’s workng. (at least excuse to buy new IEM’s ) It would be nice to get something simmilar to sound signature as HD58X but is it even possible?
My sound source is audient id4 mk II.
Music genre preferences: Almost everything that’s sounds good for me, but mostly electronic music like techno/hardstyle/dnb.
I had a chance to try moondrop aria and hmm it was pretty good for me. Maybe i should buy aria or something other from moondrop?
Looking for suggestions!
58X rolls off in the bass (like all open backs) while the Aria has a typical IEM low shelf. 58X is a little recessed in the highs, Aria more neutral (Harman target).
So You want the mid-forward tuning of the 58X or the more typical IEM tuning of the Aria?
If You like the Aria the Moondrop Kato might be the upgrade.
More like 58X: ER3SE (deep fit), Tin P1
The Etymotic also come with some foam tips, not as scary.
Went through crinacles ranking list for "warm, dark, laid back treble " IEMs. Not much choice. Having a bass shelf is like normal, laid back treble is rarely too. Pretty much all IEMs follow the harman target or go even more V-shaped.
Edit:
Tanchjim Ola don’t have a bass shelf. If you would like less bass than Aria.
P1 is the closest in FR but your Audio interface might be a bottle neck with
MAXIMUM LEVEL @ 30R: 2.59V Peak, 1.827V RMS, 223mW
People recommend like 1W.
Another idea, ever tried earbuds? They roll of in treble and bass naturally by design which gives them a mid centric sound, are cheap and comfortable. You could check out the Yincrow X6. I know they are open too but won’t be as loud in the room as a full size headphone.

than a PC can offer to perform at it’s best.
