listening to: "slow" song like country, folk, soft rock; ladygaga-type proof, no hard rock; rap, i pay much attention in the lyric of the songs.

can heaven IV satisfied my needs?

i rather pay for quality than branding, is fad value for money?

thanks for the advice..

I have the exact set up as you, big difference with dac?

thanks

I dont know..but I do enjoy every bit of the instrument being played, and the tiny details, is that critical listening? I mean I no musician or anything, lol..

just afraid this iem will be overkilled for pairing only with note 2, I dont mind spending more if can bring out the best of this iem, if not fully utilize its potential, same as wasting money too..

hmm..this is how I think,
buy expensive iem but not fully utilize = waste money
buy expensive iem, add somemore accessorry so that this asset（iem) can be fully used = save money + waste money

ya lo now am happy already, will stick to current setup..except when I reach a point that money is too much for me lol..

thanks for the advice
