Is investing in an expensive iem worth it? (alien.top)
 

Begginer here: and when I say expensive I mean 150$. I don't know if it's worth it to put it all in one iem (ie200) them I have +2 year warranty and maybe upgrade the accessories along the way

Or-

Just buying an ultracheap chifi (10-20$) and just switch them out when they break

Is the quality and sound of an expensive pair worth the money? Also what if for some reason I'll just stop liking how they sound?

Why is m-shape so unpopular? in c/headphones@hi-fi.community

After posting here I got enlightened so yeah I kinda understand now, though I'd still love some advice on an iem. I've looked up some iems and after some research I've narrowed it down to:

-Sennheiser IE200 (and after some while get a new cable and do the tape mod if needed). -Tangzu zetian wu. -Truthear hexa. -etymotics er2xr ( although I never tried the deepfit earplugs) -letshouer s12 pro

I'm biased towards the IE200 because I like the design of them much over the bulky s12 and zetian wu

I try to strictly look at crinacle graphs but something I don't find one so I look at the squedlink.

Begginer here! I've been messing with some of the EQ on my tangzu wan'er, trying to find my favorite tuning in order to get a nice pair of quality iem.

Anyway, I setteled on a weird m-shaped tuning, it is quite bright and clear but not harsh,and it still has some bass kicking and an overall beefiness to the sound. I'll add a picture of the graph for reference.(Its from wavelet graphic EQ, beware it is only up to 8k hertz)

The thing is I just can't seem to find any iem that has a similar graph, honestly most of the iems have a slightly wavy line throughout the bass to mid but pretty balanced and only get whacky at the very high frequencies, am I missing something? Or do I just have a weird taste?
