Why I'm going to CanJam Socal


Hi Everyone!
I had a mediocre experience at THE Show, but I'm still going to CanJam. I'm seriously hoping I can listen in more ideal situations.

I'm looking for IEM's or sealed cans this time. In the past some of the best sound I've heard from cans have come from:
  • Pono (yeah, long gone)
  • Woo Audio
  • Hifiman
I am seriously on the fence about Audeze. They do not do it for me. I'm also looking to finally replace my Shure E4s, possibly with Fiio FH5s.

What are your thoughts??

I’m no expert whenit comes to headphones but I do have a pair of periodic audio be iem’s.  I also have a drogonfly red dac and jitterbug... the dac/jitterbug/attachment is a pita though as far as how big and unruly the combo is.

I listened to a bunch of different headphones at can jam rmaf 3 years ago and felt like the periodic audio be’s were the best for the $. Dan, the owner, is an awesome guy and has great customer service.  If you have any warranty issues he’s great to work with.

Zreviews on you tube is probably a good source for iem info.

if I were you, I’d probably just find out whats the best iem’s at or below $100, plug them into your phone, stream tidal and be done with it.  I’ve tried to get into listening to a nice headphone setup at work and it never worked out for me; work was always too distracting!
