So I bit the bullet on the release of the Massdrop x Hifiman Bolt, and I might have been one of the absolute few who actually liked it. Anyways this really isn't about what so much of the people out there hate about the Bolt, it's a starting point for what I'm looking for. I'm trying to find something similar at $50 or less, with the strong bass that the Bolt has as lately I mainly listen to a lot of electronic music. Also the tangle free cable, some form of in-line controls that supports android , and it would be a plus if it has a small footprint or at least is comfortable to wear even if you're laying one ear on a pillow...though that may be asking a smidge much. Noise isolation isn't an absolute key point as most will isolate to some extent, but I'm not looking for anything open either. I also have the Visang R03's(aka brainwavz m2), though they're dying, and while I liked the clarity, I was never a fan of the dark coloration of sound.
I've tried to do some looking around myself, and yes I know of Joker's IEM thread/site and am looking through some of it...though at this point there are many which are discontinued. Of course I will still listen to suggestions that may not hit every point, but I hope there's enough out there by now that it's not too much of an issue. I guess I should add that durability would be a plus too as I'm likely to toss it in my pocket with my phone as I do currently with the Bolts...part of the reason a tangle free cable is something I'd prefer(cases are nice, but take up a fair bit of pocket space).
