IEM Recommendation around $200

more_vert
Hi All! I'm looking for a recommendation on a solid all-rounder IEM for under/around $200. I really, truly listen to everything. Seriously. Metal to classical to pop and everything in between. I'm looking for something with a good, well-balanced range. I'm not huge on emphasized bass or anything like that as I prefer to be able to hear voices clearly. I'll primarily be using these at work. Noisy, open cubicle style so some isolation would be nice. Currently just using my phone, but will probably be building my setup with a DAC/AMP eventually.

DataWarriorI've got issues with keeping IEMs in my ear, do these allow me to use standard tips? I can basically only use the RHA S double flange tips.
If you're able to stretch a bit the JVCs are $280 and provide some serious quality and a range of ear tip sizes that might work better for women with smaller ears. At $100 the EDC3 is also quite nice and would be lighter weight.

T.FernandezYou read my mind hah. I actually can't use ANY eartips other than xs/small double flange, I've got to special order some from RHA. I don't mind paying $280, if it's worth it. Do you think in a work setting they're worth the $120 more than the Tin HiFi? I also don't mind waiting, if there's other drops you think are good to look out for?
HighMaintenanceIt's tricky to equate value between products due to the number of variables. The JVC have excellent build quality and offer the ability to customize your sound with the included nozzles. I would image both offer a similar level of isolation if you are using tips that provide a proper seal in your ear canal. The IEM I use daily is still the Massdrop Plus which fit my ears wonderfully and sound fantastic given my listening preferences. They are a bit more than the JVC but its the IEM I recommend as a great all-rounder. I find the Tin Audio to be a bit too bright for my liking but that's my personal taste. Hope that helps.
