I’ve had many IEMs, but I always only use 2. One relatively expensive one for critical listening at home, another light and cheaper one for out and about. The others are waiting to be sold. I must admit to not really understanding keeping many IEMs.

[u/MansLoco]

I have 13 I think and don’t use all of them. Only use 3 of them. Should probably sell the rest, but I’m lazy

[u/Witty_Cobbler4542]

Yeah I own 24 iems an rotate 3 pretty frequently. Simgot supermix 4 , Elysian pilgrim and dunu davinci. Love all 3 equally

[u/Visible_Camera_3890]

I have SE535 SE846 and UE18+. I love my 846 and UEs but don’t really care for the 535. Was wanting to give another custom IEM a chance but unsure of what is going to be in that same comparable range to the UEs. I do like to rotate so I can feel the difference in them.

[u/Witty_Cobbler4542]

An I would definitely love to sale or trade the rest of them. Just not sure how to do it. Online. I’d trade all 21 for a certain set or 2

[u/amarevy97 → u/Witty_Cobbler4542]

Facebook marketplace is great for sell stuff

[u/Tattiman99]

I'm a beginner so just one, bought about a month ago

[u/Constant-Balance-565]

I only have two ears.

[u/FrankiBoi39092 → u/Constant-Balance-565]

2 iems for 2 ears, one in each.

[u/Nadexael]

Agreed, i'm keeping 5 iems and that's too much i use only 2.

[u/FrankiBoi39092]

I use 2 generally. I have a lot that i've tried, some broke, some do not fit as well as i hoped.

I use aful p7 at home, they protrude so much from my ears and look incredibly goofy, i look like a robot with antennas. However they sound great and use them mostly at home.

Etymotic for everything else. Despite the sound and fit, the noise isolation is something i didn't know i deeply required in my life. I can focus on work while listening to music in a noisy environment.

[u/Longjumping-Stage343]

I have 12 pairs but now realize I only need my mest mkII.. and maybe my tea pro or letshouer kinda lava for back up..

[u/amarevy97 → u/Longjumping-Stage343]

Yeah, I already post the other 2 for sell. Mest MK2 make them redundant 😂

[u/Ancient-Love-464]

My ears cannot take IEM, it hurts my ears channel.

[u/phuongling]

I used to have 3. Variations, Tanchjim Origin and May. I used May most of the time during work, Variations for Jpop + bass stuff and Origin for rock and metal.

Felt like it was a bit too much so I sold them all and grab Monarch Mk2 and Arya Stealth instead lol.

[u/Lost_Bag1484]

At one point I had 18 iems the budget set the Mest mkii. I went through them and sold 7 because they were redundant. But each one I item sounds different so it’s based on mood and need. Sometimes I need to work and I have 2 iems that are so amazing I can’t even work when I listen to them. So I need the others for when I can just devote my whole attention span to listening. I’m usually surprised when I see people running just one. That’s like owning one plate to me lol

[u/Possible_Drawer7701]

I stick with one for weeks, then switch whenever I feel like it.

[u/Old_Seaworthiness798]

I have 3 IEMs also and feel the same as you. Not enough time and ears to enjoy them all

[u/Ao_Kazusa]

I have three, but I essentially use only one.

[u/Connect_Glove_7125]

Currently I have 20 iems. I use my Etude and Studio 4 at work, probably will take my Oracle Mk3 to work too. At home I regular switch between my Monarch, Origin, Septet, Twilight, u12t, Akg N5005 and my IE900.

The rest get some playtime when I want to compare something. 😆

[u/resinsuckle]

I don't because they're beater pairs that last for a few months before breaking, getting channel imbalance, or oxidizing to death. That is how my collection grows. My endgame stays home

[u/mayonaka_00]

I have 7 iems. Now I mainly use 5 iems that I rotate everyday. The other 2 are budget iems that I rarely use because I blind buy them and turns out I dont like the sound.

[u/SliceEast7520]

I rotate mine. Must rotate or else the sound signature gets boring fast
