IEM with good isolation
Hello I used to have a RHA MA750....loved it. Then it went wrong, and RHA sent me a replacement (refurb, but free of charge) 1) I liked how it sounded (music and movies) 2) I liked its ability to isolate from ambient noise (airplane) What would be an equivalent in the $50 max range? Thanks- FrenchGuy

RHA MA750i
My RHA MA750i are getting old...They still work, but wires are damaged around the plastic sleeve, so I assume sooner or later, they won't work anymore ! I love them though, for the sound quality and also the noise insulation What would be a great alternative for $100 maximum? Thanks- FrenchGuy
