I use the Zero:2 or the Hexa for walks (Zero bc I love it, Hexa because I feel like I should), Aria or Wan’er 2 for casual listening, Campfire Audio Holocene or Honeydew if I’m going to be stuck somewhere for an hour or two, and the other couple dozen pairs whenever someone asks me about a combination or a tune. Some will probably never leave the case again bc they’re awful. (CCA CRA, I’m looking at you.)
Hello fellow IEM-Gods with golden Ears of Reddit! Let me explain my status-quo first for context: I started spending money for IEMs ten years ago. I liked the early KZ ATE (10mm DD) as cheap entry point but the "magic" was missing, somehow. I owned some entry level Campfire Audio like the Comet (single BA) which unfortunately had a bad fit (no hook e. g. ) and was lacking base. I upgraded to a CA Honeydew which was nice for Indie Rock but was muddled somehow. I also tried several other KZE and a Moondrop, but always the cheap one up to 100 EUR or even below. THEN I bought a Sennheiser IE300 which was fine and upgraded it to a cheaper IE200. This is what I am using rn with a HIBY R4 EVA. I like the IEM a lot! Sonically and because of the form factor, I can even lay on my ears listening to music. I think I heave learned that the sound of complex IEM with lots of drivers seems artificial for me, can't explain. Maybe it's because I haven't bought expensive ones of this kind. Very critical listening is done by a Hifiman Sundara with a Mojo 2 or iDSD. **Now I wonder, what my next upgrade could be? If it's about fit, I would go with the Sennheiser IE600, which is sadly expensive.** But I guess "Chi-Fi" came a long way since my purchases back then. I see, that almost every suggestion in your sticky i either from Aliexpress or Lingsoul. **Is it the solely value proposition for these products? Is buying a Sennheiser for 600-800 Euros a bad decision? Would I get a much better product elsewhere? What is your opinion?** Speaking of preference in music and sound... I guess a Harman Curve should be allright for me. No harsh highs, fast and well-enough base which does not bleed into the muds that much. I am listening mostly to a mix of Metal, Voice, Indie and some EDM (wild mix, I know). EDM works perfectly with my Apple Airpods Pro 2 though, but I can't stand the Sound of the Airpods with the other genres, seems artificial to me. **To wrap it up: Is Chi-Fi the only reasonable way to go right now? Are the other offerings just way too expensive or even worst in sound?** Thanks for your input, have a wonderful Holiday!
