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. 😀

      I love it aswell. I mostly use sennheise hd800s for its sound stage but I think being labeled neutral you can definitely feel little bump in base compare to hd800s. Compare to these too I find hd6xx boomy lol. I had hd6xx thought it was good mid focused but once I got the other too boi it felt like I was listening to songs in New light.

    Depends, but either a

    • Phillips SHP9500 (full size open back) Or
    • Sennheiser PX100ii (travel size) Or
    • Joyodio VZ10 (IEM)

    Probably the Joyodio VZ10. Everything I’ve mentioned just makes my music collection enjoyable but the Joyodio… It’s got everything i need in a listening instrument，and after 2 weeks I’m still gobsmacked what it can do for so many genres. A cheaper version for the everyman would be the CCA POLARIS or KZ Castor Standard Edition, or even the TRN MT1 MAX

    Its hard for me without at least 1x TWS and 1x open back over ears, as i listen a lot on the go but still sit down at my desk for long peroids of time.

    If i had opportunity to take one pair from burning house i’d take my Buds 2 Pro, as they sound really decent and are pretty versatile.

    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.

      mest mk2 would be my pick too! I love it so much and don’t have the itch to upgrade past its incredible sound.

        everyone have the right to dream man, I use hook x with qudelix 5k and elysian annihilator profile and cope that it is at least 10% of the real deal😂

    Probably my IER M9s. It’s hard to beat due to how good it sounds and how comfortable and well built it is. It’s the perfect trifecta.
