I've been contemplating this for almost half a year now. I recently moved back to Android from Apple and first I thought I'll just get another wireless set of earbuds. The more I thought about it though my mind has gone more towards maybe doing a portable DAC + a pair of really nice sounding wired buds.

The absolute max I think I can spend on the buds themselves are around $300. I can be flexible but I am not looking in the Sennheiser 600 ballpark haha.

So if you have any recommendations, experiences or just have some tips to what to look out for please share them with me!

On top of that I would also recommend the Abigail/Pro dongle from VE as it sounds really good for 10 bucks

Ooh, thanks for that one! Do you use that dongle with the Blessing2's?

[–] damienallbran@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't since I don't own a Blessing2, but I do use them with my Aria SE. It's a nice, clean DAC/amp that has plenty of power for 99% of IEMs

Sounds like just the thing I need then :D
