JN* Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Looking for recommendation for wired IEMs. Currently ALAC files on iPhone > inline DAC/Amp > Grado headphones. Broad range of music - largely stuff on ECM label. Looking for IEMs with a similar sound profile to the Grado headphones. Obvious choice would be Grado GR10e but I'm put off by reviews criticising the lack of bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabloke Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Save up and buy the Sony IER-Z1R. That's the only IEM I will ever need for the next years. Superb with anything you throw at it and the bass and sub-bass are absolutely delicious. Make sure you try them first as fitting them in your ears could be a problem for some. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalhome Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 ISN H40. A Hybrid at a great price, and a great, fun listen. Unlike the Z1R, these are actually very comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also price is up there. I would go with the Sony IER M7 best bang for buck IEM there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RePete Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 (edited) May be a little late but as a recent Grado convert and addict I tried a pair of Ibasso IT01’s the other day and was really surprised how much I liked them. I picked them up on a clearance sale a while back and never tried them. The new IT01s should be similar but with some improvements Edited December 20, 2020 by RePete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
