Hey all,
I recently purchased the Truthear Crinacles & the Moondrop Blessing 2 : Dusks. I'm very happy with both of them, however I'm looking for an endgame IEM.
My goal is to get as close as i possibly can to my experience with the DCA Expanse in an IEM.
After some research, I'm leaning towards the ThieAudio Monarch Mk2. However I'm also considering:
- Softears RS10 (Hesitant, pretty much every review says they have a “lifeless” sound)
- 64 Audio U18t
- 64 Audio U12t
- Empire Ears Odin (I know these are a bit snake oily, but they can be custom and Crinacle gave them a pretty good rating)
- Sony IER-Z1R (just not a huge fan of Sony’s sound signature)
- Open to any suggestions
Criteria:
- Maximum isolation (preferably custom)
- Removable cables is a must, but type (mmcx, 2pin, etc) does not matter
- Needs to have deep bass
- Objectively performant without being "dry" sounding.
I made an appointment to get impressions done at my local Audiologist next week. However I’m fine with either custom or universal.
Let me know what you personally would pick. Doesn't have to be one of the options i mentioned above, I'm considering all options.
Thanks in advance!
