I'm looking for some replacements for my ER-6i's which is half dead on one channel (blown driver?).
I mainly listen to electronic music (progressive, trance, house), but also some female vocalist (Dido, Sarah McLachlan, Saint Etienne) and some random mix of pop/alternative/britpop (Depeche Mode, Postal Service, The Killers). I generally liked the sound of the ER-6i's but wish they had more bass - not a huge amount more, but a little more. In an ideal world, I'd somehow have the sound of my Grado's in an in-ear form factor.
I mainly listen to these on the plane so noise isolation is a must. Ideally I'd like something with around the same amount of isolation as the ER-6i.
I'd also like to repurpose them and be able to use them at the gym and when walking around the city. For that reason, I'd like to have an integrated mic (and not have to have a super long cable), and be able to swap the tips to something with slight less isolation. I can't find the other tips for my ER-6i's so I always just use the triple flange.
I'd prefer not to spend much more than about $200 CDN on them. Availability from Canada is a plus.
I'd be thinking about getting Etymotic Research HF2s and I'm wondering what else I should be considering.
