For the past four years I've been using some UE Super.Fi Studio3 as my portable IEMs. They've held up to my abuse remarkably well considering I hear a lot of people had problems with the cables for these.
That said, I think it's coming to be time to retire them, and I'm looking for a suitable replacement.
My criteria are:
1) under $350
2) must fit OVER the ear, no IEMs designed to hang straight down. Doesn't work for the situations in which I wear these.
3) Preferably, I'd like to not go with Shure as I really did not like my shure e2c or e3c that I had prior to these UEs.
I'm wondering if I should stretch my budget and just go for customs, like the JH5. I have small ears and the one problem with these UEs has been that they do not stay in my ears even with Comply foams (though at the time, Comply tips only came in one size).
Any suggestions for a good IEM replacement that meets the above criteria, or should I just bite the bullet and go custom?
Thanks!
