Take a look at some of the Chi-Fi iems, $30 KZ ZS5 outperform SE215 and SE535 even depending on who you ask.

 

Take a look at Super Audio 2BA +2DD, they're $149 flat and are pretty damn amazing.

I'm in the market for a new pair of IEMs, i prefer a more warm sound with a bit of additional bass.

Can you link me the special edition, because i can not find it in europe.

BTW i heard that there's a flaw with this model, the "sound tube" is known for breaking, is that true?

The tube is made of plastic, so it can break more easily than tubes made of metal. I've owned a pair for over a year and have never had a problem. Just don't step on them and you'll be fine.

Give me a link to your local Amazon (if you have one.) Also, the Special Editions are regular SE215s with added bass and that's about it. They might be much more expensive than the regular ones in your country, so they might not be worth it.

The special edition is blue,  so if you see a blue pair of SE215's then they are the special edition. It does not seem like the German or English Amazon has them, but even the normal se215's are quite warm sounding with a good amount of bass (too much for me) 

Before you buy amp and dac.  My thoughts on the M50x  Ultimate Ears Reference monitor review I might have a thing for audio...

My main Headphones and IEMs:  K612 pro, HD 25 and Ultimate Ears Reference Monitor, HD 580 with HD 600 grills

DAC and AMP: RME ADI 2 DAC

Speakers: Genelec 8040, System Audio SA205

Receiver: Denon AVR-1612

Desktop: R7 1700, GTX 1080  RX 580 8GB and other stuff

Laptop: ThinkPad P50: i7 6820HQ, M2000M. ThinkPad T420s: i7 2640M, NVS 4200M

Feel free to pm me if you have a question for me or quote me. If you want to hear what I have to say about something just tag me.
