Begginer here: and when I say expensive I mean 150$. I don’t know if it’s worth it to put it all in one iem (ie200) them I have +2 year warranty and maybe upgrade the accessories along the way
Or-
Just buying an ultracheap chifi (10-20$) and just switch them out when they break
Is the quality and sound of an expensive pair worth the money? Also what if for some reason I’ll just stop liking how they sound?
IE 200 is miles better sonically and comfort wise compared to anything chifi, and it has a warranty you can actually use. Bass leak is nonexistent if you install the tips correctly. Cable could use an upgrade tho, a nice Hakugei Surfer with mmcx+ is like 40 bucks on Hifigo.
It’ll last quite a while with care, if such iem was out when I started the hobby I wouldn’t have spent nearly as much in IEMs as I have now. I have an IE900 and it’s great, but I wouldn’t have bothered
