Y-cord IEMs under 5k

8 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/y-cord-iems-under-5k.145427/

i need new in-ear headphones for my ipod nano. my budget is 5k. i DO NOT want neck chain headphones and prefer Y-cord ones. im looking for excellent bass( but not excessive ) and they should be loud( for example bose headphones are good quality but the max volume is too low for my taste). please suggest some .thnks in advance

also, i currently use sennheiser cx 300 II precision. so something with more bass than this such that i can feel it but not too much

84 views and no suggestions...this is the 1st time digit forums have let me down

The CX300 has too much bass already. Going further will kill the music.

Check: Hippo VB

Klipsch Image S4 fits your requirements.

S4 isn't value for money actually.
Better get the Hippo VB or settle for Brainwavz M2 and use the cash for an amp or something.
There is also one Meelec Model which is known for bass and costs bw 3 to 4k. Not sure abt model.
Check out threads on Head-fi forum.

@OP: If you title your threads properly, you are less likely to be disappointed by Digit forums. Editing title.

Which?

Low volume on your headphone may be due to high impedance. Getting an amp should fix it.

Oops forgot to post link (which is very absurd since I remember doing it) NVM will do it tomorrow if need be. Too late now. Not much in the thread anyways except recommedations for Radius DDM and Hippo VB.

Some bashing of the klipsch s4 too. Sibilance issue etc
