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 looked around at Periodic Audio’s site. Lots of plots, but the waterfall shows a lot of ringing around 5kHz for their designs.


I have no way of comparing this to other IEM’s, but it’s curious. Do listeners feel they have lots of "air" ??

The truth is while I like headphones, I hardly listen except at work, and for that I really need sealed or IEM's with intrinsic noise blocking.

I'm looking for IEM's in the $350 max range. If I can find better cheaper. Same for sealed over the ear cans for work.

I'm also going to look for heapdhone amps, but mainly to listen. I want to see if I can recreate the magic I heard from Woo amps ages ago, and also get a listen to the Ayre Codex and anything else.
