Now that my RE0s are on their last legs (see also:xf_eek:ther thread I made here), what would be a more durable IEM to get as a replacement? I like the clarity of the RE0s but would be willing to sacrifice a little. Better soundstage wouldn't hurt either.

How high are you willing to go in terms of price?  A great alternative, at least for me, would be the GR07, at $150.  It has more bass for sure, not sure about clarity though, but it feels quite solid and durable (made of tough plastic).  I don't think this will be breaking any time soon.
 
I still have yet to actually try out the RE0/RE-ZERO so I can't really comment on how they compare, other than that they're supposed to have more bass...not to say that the GR07 is bassy, it's very neutral.  Just the RE0 lacks impact.

you could probably get a pair of monster turbine coppers for that and they felt pretty sturdy when I had them and they have more bass than the re0's yet are still fairly clear and detailed.
