[QUOTE="esanthosh, post: 1686322, member: 33844"] First off, my SQ tiers are a broad representation of how those IEMs sound to my ear i.e., my own tastes and preferences. But each person's preferences are a little different. I might consider Brainwavz M4 to be better than M1, but some would consider a lower placed PL11 to be far better than M4. It's a tricky question - unless you hear a few IEMs, you do not know exactly know which are your preferences - how you like your bass (quantity or quality - which is more important?), sound stage (wide or can you live with narrow), treble (sparkle or polite?), mids (up front vocals or placed back in the stage?) and so on. In any case, your listening taste seems to place a lot of emphasis on vocals. I feel that if your budget allows it, Brainwavz M3 might suit you a bit better than either of M2 or S4. If you want to keep it between the two, I'd have to say M2. M2 has a closed in presentation with vocals up front. S4's vocals are placed a little back, a tad thin sounding. I think S4's sibilance might also hurt vocals in a few recordings. [/QUOTE]
