I bought some Koss Portapros a couple months ago and I've been listening to them ever since. I love everything about them. Before I got on my Portapros kick, I was listening to UE Super.fi 5 EBs. Now when I try to go back to them, I realize how completely warped the sound is. The bass is completely bloated, which drowns out all the details, and the vocal sibilance frequencies are over pronounced. I must have sensitive ears because the sibilance is unbearable for me.
So I'm going to sell my UE Super.fi 5 EBs and look for something a bit more suited to my tastes.
I want something similar in design, over the ear, replaceable cables. What I don't like is that they are plastic. I've had them crack once, resulting in an RMA, so if possible I would like an IEM what is metal, or very durable.
The hissing or sibilance of the UE Super.fi 5 EBs really annoyed me. I'm looking for something that doesn't have too much of that. I would like something with similar bass of the Portapros, not too overpowering, but not lacking either.
As far as the cord goes, a straight plug is a must. I can't stand 90 degree connectors.
I will mainly be listening to Metal music, and would rather not spend more than $150. I appreciate any help.
