Hi Folks,
I was using a pair of Sony XB90 IEM for past 6-7 years, and it served me very well, until today morning when one of it;s earpieces died all of sudden.
I am looking for a new pair of IEMs, albeit a bit cheaper than my previous set but should have the following , in order of priority :
->Clear and Non-Muddy sound, a bit biased on either side would work but shouldn't be muddy at all.
->Comfortable for long usage, including falling asleep while wearing them...
->Build Quality should be sturdy, since they will have to take some beating...
->Cable management should be there so that I can get a good fit, avoid micro phonics and swaying cables.
->Easy to drive, and compatible with PC.
Budget : ~2k INR at max.
Selected models :
1. Sound magic E10
2. Sound magic E30
3. Sound magic PL30+C
4. Senheiser CX275 ( I am not sure about it's sound signature...I have heard CX180 and they sound muddy af ).
5. Sony XB30
6. Signature Acoustics C-12
I also have a pair of KAZ ATE and I don't like their sound signature, they are too muddy and bloated for my taste, also lacks cable management.
I have ATH-M50x and I love their sound signature but I don't use they much due to their high clamping force and I usually avoid headphones unless it's winter (sweat, heat..etc) .
Looking for suggestions.
Thanks
