Recently i saw a timmy made a stop this hobby right now and keep some iem, and thought of this. Not everyone has the luxury to keep many stuff. So if you guys get to choose just one item to keep forever what would it be?
My choice is the Monarch mk2. 😀
Of all my kit my HE4XX. I don’t have a ton of cans but they are the best to my taste. Id choose them over my:
HD6XX( ducks incoming flack) sure there is great mid detail but I need my sub bass and the He4XX always sounded more natural to my ear. That said, piano or intimate vocals on these literally made my wife cry and want to get back into playing piano)
Truthear Hexas (outstanding detail and default tuning. Id almost choose these but for long sessions the HE4XX is more comfortable.)
iSine20s ( detail is amazing but sound need to much equity to conveniently use)
1more triple driver IEMs Etymotic HF3 Grado SR80is Soundcore Liberty 2 Pros (honestly one of my go-to’s for a long time for the combination of convenience and sound quality)
7hz Salnotes Zero Chu 2s ( both these and the Zeros are outstanding for the price and beat the 1mores and HF3s all around and beat the iSine20s for listenablity due to good tuning but iSine wins in detail and bass quality obviously)
