Why don’t start with planar? I’ve owned various Sony earbuds from Best Buy growing up and went the the m50x headphone for years until I bought the zero:reds a month ago. I got super interested in the “detail” of planars after watching iem YouTube.
Because if you are on a budget, you are less likely to need an amp of some sort or amp/dac combo to properly drive a dynamic driver or balanced armature. Even Electrostatic drivers are easier to drive. That’s the only driver I’ve ever heard that needed a little warm up period. Like a minute or three.
Less power required = more budget friendly
Oh, purely budget reasons. Thanks for the explanation!
every planar iem ever made will work fine with an apple dongle
