smokemonHave you ever heard headphones in this price bracket? You might think otherwise when you experience the difference between something like these and your average SkullCandy buds.
smokemonFor me it's worth it.
I listen to music far more on the go than at home and these can be used either way, especially if you live in an apartment.
I have an LG v60 for most on the go listening and the Aurender Flow for cafes or at home.
The difference between $500 and over $1000 /totl is noticeable for even an amateur audio guy. Granted, I don't own THIS iem rather the Lime Ears Aether essential and Noble K10ua but the idea is the same.
Unfortunately, I am stuck with a dozen inferior but good iems I got along the way to this realization. So if you are heading down this path, bite the bullet and go all in.
