Aloha & Help Please Kind People!
How would these perform with some Electronic Dance Music with various vocals, Breaks, Drum and Bass, London Elektricity, High Contrast, Netsky,. Jungle, vocals again, some Dubstep with some female vocals.... Basically filthy music... Headphones may be easier to reproduce the quality of the bass possibly, I hate assuming so please correct me! I am hopeful IEM's can do it now and do it damn good lol!
I love all music, not just the above. A music lover in every sense of the word and am sure I am surrounded by many of the same :)
Am looking for honest thoughts and feelings with the Bass orientated selection of mhaicbeing the priority and focus. Are there even IEMs that can handle the bass with the highs and really deliver the depth and soul?! :)
Thank you very much for any help and advice . Appreciated. ☺️
Budget $200-$300
MusicFuelsYourSoulShure has great audio reproduction but they are typically bass light so not the best with EDM. I have owned several pairs from the E4c to the se846 but to be honest get the RHA T20i and get about 200 hrs on them and not much competes with them.
DJ2ndI bought MA750i but after 2 months the remote failed. The store told me that I can get my money back so I gave a shot for T20i. I extensively tested T20i with lots of different genres (from bass heavy to classical) for a week. To be honest, I liked MA750i's better soundstage, better neutrality and better looks over T20i. And it is also cheaper. Finally I returned the T20i and got myself another MA750i.
DJ2ndThank you for the reply kind Sir!
Have tou heard the Senn IE8? I have also heard good things.
Been onto the website. Looks very nice indeed. All the extras as in the 14 tips of different materials in a steel holder are welcomed.
They even have filters which you can swap in and out for Treble , Neutral and Bass. Can you tell and feel the difference between them?
Keep the suggestions coming! Thank you
TurkayThe T20's take about 200 hours to fully burn in so that takes a lot of time and patience but is well worth it. Everyone has different taste though and so enjoy your MA750's.
MusicFuelsYourSoulI A/B'd them before choosing the RHA T20i. I can't remember all the specifics why I chose the T20 over the IE8 but the three standouts were the tunability and the bass and treble response that appealed to me on the T20.
DJ2ndI don't believe in such kind of a burn in, break in or whatever and there is no scientific evidence about it. But I do believe in that there is a time needed to adapt to the sound profile of the particular equipment. So before (or after) the 200hrs, T20s (will) have narrower soundstage and bloated low-mids compared to cheaper MA750. Don't get me wrong I don't say one is superior to the other. Just the facts.
MusicFuelsYourSoulThere are IEMs that can handle what you need... however they cost around $1000. I have a pair of the SE846 and that's probably what you're looking for, but out of your budget I think. I would suggest saving up and possibly looking for a used pair of SE846s or look towards the SE535LTDs. I have a pair of those as well and they are excellent. Shure IEMs are definitely not light on the bass as some comments have suggested, but I guess it all depends on the person and their individual listening tastes. If you're used to a Bose or Beats house sound, you might consider the 215s light on bass. I've owned/heard products from both of those companies and I still wouldn't consider anything from Shure to be light on bass. Just for reference, I own the 215, 535LTD, and the 846.
DiminishedSeventhThank you for taking the time to give your thoughts. The SE846s look like a dream pair of IEM's. Something to work towards anyhow at that price.
Also want to tgank everyone for their input. It is really appreciated.
TurkayAccording to RHA the T20 is superior in their line up... but feel free to like whatever but the MA750 is not on the same level at the T20. Just facts
DJ2ndI was just letting you know that MA750s are closer to the reference level with a bigger sound stage. You are always free to pay for more to get more (bloated in this case) bass and lesser soundstage. I bought both and returned T20s just because of the problems T20s have. Oh well.. There is a reason why MA750s are in the wall of fame list of innerfidelity dot com, not the T20s.. Here is the link if you wanna check that review,

TurkayI tried them the day I bought my T20 and they were ok. I still choose the more expensive and better sounding T20 over them. I why would I spend more money on worse headphones?
