I'm looking for some new cans since someone stole my AD700s...I liked the sound signature of those. I miss the soundstage and detail, but I hated how anemic the bass was. I would avoid dubstep and hip hop when I had those, which are two of my favorite genres... Jazz and classical blew me away...

Funny, we're in nearly the same boat, except I STEPPED on my beloved Eternas. The housing held together for a time, then didn't...   My budget has been drastically reduced, though. I was looking at the S4s on eBay because they're so fscking cheap, like $30-40. Would I be horribly...

  Hmmm, strange, I must have replied to the thread before realizing there was a second page. My last comment was about the EX600s.    Quote: I did, actually! You must just have dementia.  Yeah, as cliche as it is, I hate when artists get big...     Quote: Not...

Those are sadly well out of my price range at the moment.

Quote: Oh, lucky you living in Cali. I hope they did Lucy Ford and God Loves Ugly stuff. Not too fond of the later releases (surprise!)   I love the bass oriented sound of the Eternas. Funny thing, while researching the S4s, I ran into a post of yours from a year or so ago raving...

Well, I asked if there was anything comparable to the Eternas but cheaper, and they ran at least $70...   But yeah, for absolute specificity budget is under $100, preferably $50-60, might be willing to spend $70-80 again (in that case, I might just wait for the Eternas).   Even the...

Quote:   Thanks for your suggestions! I'll do just that.   Quote:   The IE8s are most definitely outside of my price range...   I loved my Eternas too. The bass blew me away. But I'm having a lot of difficulty finding them and my budget shrank significantly. lol  

Would the Klipsch Image s4 be a suitable replacement? They're pretty cheap on eBay, and pretty cheap brand new on Amazon too. I remember when they were around $100, I think. I normally wouldn't be SUCH a cheapskate with my 'phones (as you can see, I've owned some midrange Denons). It will be a...

Quote: DDM? Manufacturer? Thanks for your response!      Quote: I will be sure to look into those. Actually, they cost more than the Eterna, but Bugden Audio seems to be permanently out of stock and the legit vendor on eBay seems to have disappeared too.  

EDIT: Actually the thread is perhaps a misnomer. I'm not upgrading at all, but looking for a replacement.   I was lucky enough to own these once, but they died an untimely death. I loved the sound signature and the price point, but wondering if there is something similar on the market at a...

I went ahead and got the Fischer Audio Eternas. :/

Quote:   Where did you snag such a deal? And were they new?  

Hate to bump this, but....

  Quote: Can anyone else vouch for the M-Audis? I've never heard of them.   Quote: Hahahaha. What sort of question is that?  Quote: AKG? Aren't they outside of my budget? I don't know, it's been years since I've fantasized about buying "expensive"...

Quote: The DT440s are open too?
