So i came from a good share of earphones and could never get a good fit,
went from v-moda vibe yeah i know it sucks
TF10, Fischer DBA-02, RE-0,GR07, and now using 1964 T CIEM which i love the sound but with 3 refits from InEarz the fitting would never be GREAT. It was just Ok but i dealt with it for 1 and half year
Over the head headphones i used outside before were Audiotechnica m50, AiAi TMA,HD25, Occasionally used my Ultrasone PRO 900 but its too bulky for outside..
Soooo Here I am now asking for some advice as you may know by looking at my headphone choices is that i like something neutral sounding, with good clarity but still maintains the bass
this week my 1964 T right shell cracked since i dropped it, now the drivers are still in tact but i was wondering if i should reshell them again or sell it and get something like the V-Moda M100, or Momentum.? I saw here on the forum someone selling their UM Mage for 300$
Any other headphones/earphones would be greatly appreciated, i'll be using them to commute to work, and going to the gym

Definitely look at the UE900/4.Ai (personally find the former to be a bit more well-rounded but will put the Heirs in just to be fair). Slight emphasis on sub-bass, great kick and impact. Astoundingly clear mids. The PFE232 were also on par/perhaps edges out the 1964V3 and the Quad demos I tried out. Though take that with a large grain of salt.
 
And of course, the DT1350 (have no experience with) gets enough accolades as it is for clarity and punch. Though you did have the HD-25 so not sure how much of an upgrade that would be.

hoping if i get the UE900 or 4ai I find a tip that fits me the most, which is why i ended up with 1964 Custom.. I demo the DT1350 and i fell in love with them.. might pick them up.

Would you recommend the Momentum?

Not the clearest but impressive detail. Also just the bass and lack of grain is spectacular. Won't say too much as I've only heard them a couple of times.


damnn PFE232 600$ woah
forgot to mentionn budget im willing to put up is 350-400$
