goldhenry Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 Hi I am looking around for a good iem to pair with an Astell and Kern AK240 DAP I have been in to Minidisc in Chatswood and tried a few models but none of them really grabbed me. I listen to rock, hip hop, reggae, blues & Jazz and think I am looking for a model with strong, tight bass and sweet midrange. I’m just wondering if anyone has tried or owns the below and if they are any good? Denon iem So far I like but don’t love Sennheiser ie-80s and Fiio FA7 Quad driver iem I’m also thinking of trying out the Shure SE535 and possibly Fiio FH7 I’m hoping to be able to spend less than $600 so the Denons I linked to fit the bill. Other recommendations will be gratefully received. Thanks

goldhenry Posted February 4, 2020 Author Posted February 4, 2020 Thanks for your recommendation- I will give these a listen when I’m next at minidisc
goldhenry Posted February 5, 2020 Author Posted February 5, 2020 Just for the record- Digital Cinema in Auburn do not have the headphone I linked to. They also do not have any in ear headphones for demo
goldhenry Posted February 5, 2020 Author Posted February 5, 2020 Further to the above- Wing from minidisc in Chatswood asked if he could get these Denon in ear headphones in for me but something has changed with ‘Denon’s Supplier repositioning the brand in the current market’ Wing said that he doesn’t think other dealers will be selling them as a consequence, either I’ll try other brands and models and maybe put a WTB in the classifieds
goldhenry Posted February 7, 2020 Author Posted February 7, 2020 Melbourne hi fi are able to find stock for the Denon AH-C820 in ear headphone it seems. I have just purchased a pair online & will post on here to say when they have arrived.
