Hello Everyone,
Being so hard to sample all the IEM choices that are out there, I'm coming here for advice on replicating my experience with my Alessandro MS-1s (
Alessandro MS-1). I've been told they are similar to Grado SR80/125s if that helps. These are my first and only headphones, but I love them and would be elated to replicate their sound in IEMs. I enjoy their slightly beefed up low end but I really enjoy them for rock ballads as well, no complaints. Obviously I'm not looking for monitors and I'm a poseur audiophile, so please be kind.
Some details....
- Looking for something around $50 or less
- Use Case for Airplane rides & the gym
- I am strongly consider DIY Custom Ear Pieces with Sugru or Radians custom molded earplugs. My last plane ride drove me nuts, I need a great seal & isolation.
- Source: MP3 / Streaming services, powered off Android smartphone or laptop
- Random songs I just listened to via streaming service (can range from punchy Pop to Rock Ballads):
U2 - Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
Coldplay - Fix You
Hypnotize by The Notorious B.I.G.
Kayne West Golddigger
Bruno Mars - It Will Rain
Scorpions - Wind of Change
U2 - The Sweetest Thing
AWOLNATION - Sail
Many thanks!
EDIT: Perhaps I am confusing IEMs vs. Earbuds or am willing to make IEMs from Earbuds with Sugru.
