That is really really hard question. I guess I just listen to a song, and wonder how it would sound on this particular iem. I only use one Dac/Amp because if I was worried about the amp, I would go down another rabbit hole. My original plan was to get an all rounder, the u12t, then one that did bass really well, another that did mids really well, and another that did treble really well. I know it’s not specific. I probably wouldn’t have so many iems if there was a demo place near me, but unfortunately there isn’t, so I’m more or less buying blind. Obviously, I look at the all the reviews, video or written, to sort of get an idea if I would like it or not. I agree, it’s 100% not practical to own so many, but I don’t know why I haven’t brought myself to sell them on headfi or somewhere like that.
It’s the IE 600. In general I think it has some of the best treble out of my collection. It is extremely aggressive treble, so it gets fatiguing. I still need to find the right tips to get a good seal, with good bass, and lower treble.
I didn’t know this. I always just assumed balanced outputs = better. I’m still a noob when it comes to amps and dacs

It’s the dunu SA mk2 cable, I swapped since that cable has 4.4mm
Wait how so? I wasn’t aware of this

I told myself I would only get one iem per month, and I ended up getting three this month. The IE 600 and Ej07 aren’t even a week old, so there’s still tons of listening to do. The only other iem that I have my eye on is the Monarch mk3, but that’s still on back order on headphones.com. Other than that, I’m pretty happy with this collection :)
Well this made me feel much better about choosing the xduoo ta-22 over the a90d.

The tips just make everything better, like literally everything. I don’t know how tips can even make this much of a difference, but after going through about a dozen tips, this is the best that I found. They can uncomfortable depending on the iem, but it generally makes any iem better. :)
Well I’ve only returned 2, so thank you for letting me know, I won’t be doing that anymore. Though I treat my purchases with the intention of liking them and keeping them. If I treated my purchases as rentals then I wouldn’t have 9 in my collection.
If you’re dissatisfied with a product, why wouldn’t you return it, though? Isn’t that the whole point of the return policy, apart from broken units.
