What do you guys think about using IEMs for listening to music?

*through speakers

It's cans or die for me, but I've never owned a good set of IEMs.

I like IEMs i use them a lot for music in the go. I have yet to find a pair that are spectacular, other than Meelectronics.
I like skullcandy a lot tbqh.

That's just how it is

I can't stand listening to music outside in the city on anything but IEMs.

My only advice is don't assume high-end/expensive ones are necessarily more durable than cheap ones.

I have a pair of ATH IM02 that I do all my listening on.

I have a pair of cheap laptop speakers, and the IM02 just knocks them out

OP here. I own a RE-400 myself and find them amazing for $70. They're very fragile though

Do you guys use EQ for your IEMs? I own a very (very) balanced one and I'm wondering if people usually use EQs to boost specific prefered areas of the sound spectre.

I listen to a lot of music through speakers. They are bookshelf stereo speakers by Bowers & Wilkins. My cans (HD 650) definitely are more detailed though and I prefer them when I am listening to something for the first time.

What model is it

>>60182366
HifiMan RE-400

I have some Shure SE215's that I like quite a bit. The first nice IEM's I've bought. Also have the Audio Technica M50's, which are also nice and have lasted me for 4 years now.

>skullcandy
I've hated every pair of skullcandy I've ever used.

full size cans are better of course, but iems are GOAT for isolation and can sound pretty decent with some crossfeed

I only like skullcandy because they're decent for the $20 price and they are easy to find locally.
Spending over $30 for skullcandies would be ridiculous because they dont even last that long

I use IEMs.
I do use speakers too.

Which is better: IEMs, cans or speakers? I think IEMs are more detailed and I like it but they are not so strong soundstage wise

You can get Sennheisers or Xiaomi Pistons V3 for that price if you shop around a bit.

No skullcandy crap
