Reply to comment by Wise_Concentrate_182 in Honest question, did we hit peak headphone a while back? by Yammy_Lyfe

most IEM's are better than the IE400

Also, if you want people to try something out, try to do it without smelling your own farts about your alleged superiority over the entire chifi market. I haven't heard of Onkyo, and I'd be happy to try them out, but you're not exactly giving me much to work with.

Onkyo is a Japanese hifi company. They primarily make receivers, amplifiers, and home audio equipment. Very similar to Denon. They both just also make headphones. I have eyed the E700M myself, but I ended up going with the Denon AH-C820 for the dual drivers and they're just absolutely phenomenal.

Idk people rant and rave about the IE300 and 600 and they're both just absolutely shit imo.

I've heard neither, but apparently the 600 are pretty good. For me it's just annoying to see them insanely cheap in US while I have to pay the full price here in Europe despite these being German

It's a bit of an exaggeration, but the ie400 are very tonally unbalanced compared to its competitors

The ie600, on the other hand, is a very different story, and probably what you're referring to when you say this sub loves Sennheiser IEM's

IE400 has a bit of exaggerated lower end but it’s not “unbalanced” by any stretch. IE600 gets to a 1,000 bucks. At that price range the options are many. IE400 hits a very sweet spot.

The one that is loved and you see a lot is the ie600 likely. It was also boosted by a recent $200 off sale

It’s the dumbest kind of comments you will see from fanboys of KZ or S12 or Timeless kind of rubbish. IE400 has stellar sound, for those who actually understand music and audio :)
