JackMprobably these. Sennheiser IEMs are generally not very competitive.

JackMFor the price you'd pay for a Sennheiser IEM, there's likely another IEM in the same price range that performs much better.
For example, the $200-and-lower price range of the IE80, you can get:
- These - iBasso IT03 - Mee Pinnacle P1 - Oriveti Primacy - AAW A3H Pro [v2] - ATH-IM02 - Oriveti Basic - TFZ Series 5 - GR07 BE
These are IEMs that are known to be pretty darn good for their price tags, whereas if you frequent any audiophile forums / communities, you'll often see the IE80 / IE800 are being referred to as "outclassed". This is not in any disrespect to Sennheiser because their headphones are top-notch and among the best values out there -- just not their IEMS.

JackMYeah, on that list of IEMs I listed you may want to look into your preferred sound.
If you like bass, the IT03, A3H Pro, Oriveti Basic, TFZ Series 5, and these will be a good choice.
If you want something 'neutral' or balanced, try out the IM02, Oriveti Primacy, and GR07 BE.
The Pinnacle P1 is not really neutral but it's balanced, works nicely for female vocals and isn't too heavy on the bass.

jjwfrAs much as I want to shit on Sennheiser. No I don’t agree they have value for the money. Ie 80 is way clearer than those above except the Oriviti haven’t tried it yet.
