Hi, just tried out the following in ear phones at hong kong Mingoheadphone
Shure 535 : the ear buds blocked too much area from the driver, the sound became bloated or weird, and weak bass
Shure 846 : Sounds good, but my sister says too hard to wear, which is very critical for her. Sounds close to my headphone, D2000 which is very good,even better detail than mine
Sennheiser IE800 : everything is good, sound is very smooth, bass is powerful and soundstage, instruments and details is good but the vocals are too backward, even with amplifier (music fidelity, forgot which model available in the shop), perhaps this is the downside of single driver IEM?
After listening to IE800, the IE80 became nothing, so definately won't choose that.
Anymore recommendations?

actually likes the IE800 sound but too vocal too backward. Gotta try more tomorrow, a lot of IEM available to try there, Fitear TG334 and westone (spelled like that? im not sure, just something like that)
Budget, prefer around RM2000, but able to pump more if the sound really good
Also tried the D600, the pads are soooooooooooo comfortable and thick, and the driver sounds similar, even a little bit more detailed when played with my note 3 too,not sure if amplified, i don't know why people say the new product lines of denons are bad and the driver of my D2000 already legendary.
For Shure 535 is weak bass?

I think u didnt really seal the IEM itself completely? as sealing is very critical for it to acquire the full bass quality of it. I can say that Shure SE535 is one of the one with tight basses in it.
Well thats not my point, just that, since your sis is willing to stretch your budget until so high, if you are looking for the airy and the tight sealing , Why dont go custom? Is a completely difference experience. You can hear NOTHING when you put your Customs iem on even without playing any music.

You can only hear the total silence. Do have a look around for brands like JH Audio, Unique Melody, 1964, Noble Audio and many more

Well i can say that the SQ of Customs can win over quite many high ends headphone.
