I use it for classical, jazz but also newer stuff like djent or fusion. Works well in games, but imaging isn’t on par with the soundstage.
IEMs : IE900, tuning is V shaped but the Custom Tips alleviate that somewhat. I EQ them to bring back the naturality. Technicality wise, they’re insane. The bass impact is unheard of, it’s nuts.
They are great for games, addictive for electronic music and the dynamics are huge so anything that slams is a good match.
I can’t wear the custom tips for as long as I can wear the 800S, but for 2h sessions they are perfect.
Shows. In the US you guys have Canjam fairly often, but tons of other shows are available.
At least for us in France, Amazon is a no brainer cuz you really don’t have to spend a dime when returning products. They aren’t picky at all, you don’t even need the original cardboard box.
Used market is great. If you’re with it, you’re not losing much money in the process.
FB groups are kinda seen as “for dads and old farts” but they are the ones with money, some people have access to a ton of gear. You can trade, get loaners, etc to see more stuff in your hands.
