Reply to comment by be-LazY in I'm afraid of buying any budget IEM by be-LazY

If you're at that point where you're saying that. You probably don't need other iems. You can always demo iems by equing them from your current iems using equalizer APO.

Thats what I did. Crinacle has graphs of most iems I'm looking for. I got to his website. Selected the iem I am listening to (ie600) and then another iem that I think might be better (i did a comparison with um mest mk2)

I can get the difference in db from the graphs and "try" out the iem without owning it, by setting that difference in equalizer APO on my PC.

Thats how I got from etymotics to the ie600. I equed them, then bought them. I felt I really would like a more v-shaped version of the etymotics which the Sennheiser's are.

After doing that I decided it wasn't worth it with the um mest mk2 most probably. It won't give an idea of soundstage etc. but you will get a perfect idea of the tonality of the iem.

Ohh thanks a lot, I'll play a lot with eq before making any other decision.

Oh and also, I'm aware that I don't "need it" I just want to buy some cause of pure curiosity, since I can't test them, and if they ended up working well for my likings I could have two great iems.

I get what you mean. I'd recommend figuring out the graph with your most resolving iem. Should give a much cheaper way of trying out the iems you think you like.
