Want to get the tea pros over the dusk, but conflicted?
I have been searching for a new iem and have been doing tons of research to attempt to nail down what I may want within this price range for music only
I have seen so much praise for the Dusk, the Tea Pros, The Hype 4, and the Pilgrim that I recognize that there comes a point where it’s just subjective which is why the race is so close on these 4.
I am coming from the MP145. I unfortunately must purchase blind, I have no audio stores near me that I can find.
I decided to go between the Tea Pro and the Dusk. However, the people that like the Dusk seem to think there is no better iem out there. And I am really curious about the new meta tuning.
However, I will be using a DAP and have little (zero) interest in ever using a proprietary usb system for an iem that I paid hundreds of dollars for just for them to get their “true potential”. Maybe I am alone in this, but if they wanted them to sound a specific way, they should have been tuned out of the box that way.
All that to say though, I worry I made the wrong choice siding with the Tea Pro. Is it okay to move on with the Tea Pro and not worry about the Dusk? Or am I really missing out? Is the same with the Pilgrim?
This hobby is getting expensive :(
TLDR; are the Tea Pros better than Dusk for strictly music? I don’t want to use the DSP.
Edit: clarity , added bit about using only for music
