I have both IEMs and a pair of Headphones. They are a for different use cases. I use the Headphones when I'm working from home and working, the reason I prefer headphones for this reason is that it's more immrersive imo to IEMs and the soundstage/imaging is so much better, and since the inflation of energy bills, they keep my ears warm so helps with not turning the heating on. With IEMs, they are great for portibility and do not leak any sound when listening at loud volumes. So my advice is to own both if you can.

First of all, apologies for the cringe post, I know its extra, but I just want to express how glad I am finding this subreddit. Thought I'd take the plunge and go down the Headphone rabbit hole and glad I did. Before this I was just listening to my vinyl and was content with it until my girlfriend complained about the loud noise coming from my tower speakers, so I thought I'd invest in some headphones.

They are constantly whilst I work (work from home). And whilst at night too... Been a rough few months but with this set up I can just stick on a song/record and it just takes me away and not a thought in world.
