So I'm poking at some music now and then again, and in general found that I like monitor-style earbuds better than general electronic-department ones. They've certainly proven to have a better range and audio feel, and if I really want that V-shaped response toward the bass and treble or that accursed Beats muddied bass pound, I can use the EQ that every electronic has now.
The problem is I wear glasses, which makes most if not all closed cans anywhere from uncomfortable to unusable.
Now, I do have a pair of KZ ZSNs but serious audiophiles and producers claim they're not truly neutral. OTOH, they sound absolutely amazing for $25 IEMs, and really darn good for even the $45 on sale I paid for them when they were new, at least for listening to.
As a hobbyist, are they really bad enough to cause any mixing issues? Are there good suggests for anything with a good 'soundstage' on a budget? Or am I better served sticking with these and just listening through various other pairs, when 95% of my time is spent enjoying them instead of utilizing them?
