So my old Sony WH1000s (MK1) have finally died and I ended up in the rabbit hole of Chinese IEMs.
What would you recommend for 80s/90s music (pop, Dance, Britpop etc) as well as general listening to Apple Music on an iPhone…. I’d say max cost £400 (£500 if you include the 20% vat (sales tax))…. Works out to be $550 before tax
I guess I’m easier to please than others. I found nothing at all wrong with the stock cable and tips that came with my Mangird TEAs. Plenty of detail, fantastic mids, nice sub-bass, and gobs of soundstage.
I got mine from Aliexpress, everything went fine and got them around 1 week later. Linsoul might be cheaper at the moment. There’s also a bundle if you interested.
Honestly for that price I’d recommend getting a few cheapo IEM’s first to figure your taste.
If not, some great IEM’s at the 300+ price range are
Fiio FH7
LZ A7
Mangrid Tea
Sennheiser IE300 (wait for the 600?)
When in doubt and on a budget (or have a lot freaking money) regardless, one answer from me who owns a set, BLONS!! BLON BL-03s! Replace the cable and ear tips with better ones like Xinhs for the cables and E Types for the tips and you’re good to go. Enough said, still a must have IEM to this day.
