Classical IEM
« on: 7 Aug 2012, 05:44 pm »
I have a UE One TripleFi 10 which is very good to my ears but am wondering what would be a better sound quality (classical mostly) replacement IEM.  Please fee free to recommend, I'm open to all opinions.

Happy listening!

Just get the best and be done with it - JH Audio JH13.  Best IEM's, ever, regardless of genre.  IMO, of course :P

Thanks Tyson.  Only thing about that one that makes me hesitate a bit is a visit to local audiologist.  That is, if I could find one locally.

But I think you're right, looks like something I must do sooner or later.

Westone ES5 is also a great one to listen too and my choice.

TripleFi are more known for their  "rock" sound signature ... I have Shure 425s on sale - I find them very neutral with a very slight and desirable bass boost and I enjoy classical, jazz, vocal and acoustic mostly ...

Didn't mention your budget constraints, if any, but I am quite pleased with my Etymotic HF3's (the HF5 is identical but leaves out the inline iStuff controller. Some knock them for "lacking bass" but if you have a good seal with your earpieces (I like the Comply foam tips), they play DEEP BASS just fine, without the tipped up midbass that many add  to try to get a "bigger" sound.

Sorry I missed stating the budget constraints.  Reaching up to JH13 or similar price point is possible, as long as I can "get the best and be done with it".  Will also look into ES5 and HF5.

Thanks.

why not go for UERM and see if you find a discount coupon?

I just got a set of 1964Ears V3's (CIEMs) and they're pretty great for all genres.  And if your classical has a lot of bass, look out...the V3's are on par with the best full-size cans in that area in particular. 

If you really like to "get into" your music, there's nothing like the fit and isolation of customs.  The only gripe I have about IEMs in general is that none that I've heard have what I would call a big soundstage.  I listen to mainly string quartet type stuff so it's not a huge deal but for large orchestras, the IEM concert hall is kinda small.
