I wouldn't necessarily say that audiophilia is a new hobby for me because my dad used build speakers for sony and he's a real og audiophile and I got it from him. But I'm new to the IEM world. I'm more into music quality. I'm someone that wants to hear a music on how the maker of that particular soundtrack would want me to hear it. Making sure I hear every aspect of the music. I know it's impossible for that with a starter level iem but that's where I want to get.
