Hey guys,   I'm in need of your expertise. My S4's have a short and the left ear is no longer playing. Basically, I'm looking for an upgrade with a similar sound signature and matched comfort. The Klipsch ear gels are an absolute dream.....so I'm a bit worried that I'm going to have a hard...

How would you compare the MC5's to the Klipsch S4's? My S4's just shorted out in the left ear and I'm looking for something new, and perhaps an upgrade in quality.   Sorry if this has been answered.......

For the S4's, I set the gels barely against my ear canal, just enough to plug them.....then gently twist back and forth until inserted. I don't put mine in very far.....just enough for them to stay firmly in place.

I'd go with the ne-7m's if you want a great combo of SQ and functionality for a low price.

I'm honestly not sure......sorry. I'm guessing it might be a tough match though.
