Recently i saw a timmy made a stop this hobby right now and keep some iem, and thought of this. Not everyone has the luxury to keep many stuff. So if you guys get to choose just one item to keep forever what would it be?
My choice is the Monarch mk2. 😀
Unique Melody Amber Pearl.
Your flair only appears in my dream bud
Honestly maybe the HD 660s2. I don’t even own it but I keep thinking about how much I liked it when I auditioned it. I love my Utopia 2022 but I have a nice little wireless mode for my 6XX and Qudelix 5K that just adds so much convenience that I’d almost rather just swap that over to the s2 for a nice middle ground and get great hi-fi but portable. The Utopia is not at all portable.
Moondrop Dark Saber
IEM: Symphonium Crimson.
Well there are different headphones for different reasons. I very much like and daily drive my Empyreans but they aren’t good for travel, work, or quiet places. For those I use my focal elegia. I’m not going to say there isn’t better out there in each category however I could go without buying another pair of headphones.
Shure se846
My Kumitate Lab KL-Kanon Switch.
Sennheiser HE-1
Never said we had to own it or for it to be feasible to do so!
Koss KSC75X. I like the sound signature, fidelity, and I can use it anywhere.
I would keep the Performer 5
Meze Elite and ISN EST50 from what I own.
FiR Xenon 6 or EE Odin if I can pick any IEM.
IEM = A&K + Empire Ears Odyssey (simply incredible!)
Headphone= Not sure. Probably a HiFiman Pair.
Like u/Wazy7781 said, I’m pretty much out of the hobby, insomuch as I’m not “chasing” better anymore. Speakers is whole different can of worms as I’m looking for new ones for my work set up and my Home Entertainment set up.
FiiO FH7, I have two of them I use with different cables right now and happily sold my Mest MK2
Audio Technica ATH-AD2000
Andro 2020
I have owned more expensive iems like Z1r, K10, Anole Vx, solaris but I still have the andro 2020 as my favorite
