10 months agoIf I could keep anything it would be the Ether 2 and the Andromeda but if it was the cheapest headphone that I’d be happy with, it would be the DT880 600ohm and the Truthear hexa or the FAAEAL Iris 2.0
The issue with being a beginner is not knowing what sound you like. While the ie200 are great you might not like the sound signature, so it’s best to get a couple cheap iem’s $20-50 that are different. Get something warm, something bright and something neutral etc. Then once you figure out what you like then you can invest more money into the hobby.
I don’t know much about iem’s but I do have really expensive headphones. I started with 5-6 headphones at about $100, then picked by favorite 3-4 and bought the upgraded versions at $500-600. Once I figured out what sound I liked I went to an audio store and jumped into $2000 headphones and I haven’t looked back.
My audio journey took 8 years so there’s no rush to spend money.
