Hey all!
haven't been around in a while, but i now find i'm in need of some thoughts.

So, I was forced last-minute to send my pair of ADDIEMs to my mom overseas with an uncle yesterday, and am now without daily use IEMs.

As i can't really use my JH5s in certain circumstances that i would my ADDIEMs for safety and convenience reasons, i'm looking for a replacement.

I am considering just buying a refurbished pair of ADDIEMs from 7dime on ebay for $30, but i'm also seeing this as an opportunity to try something new.

my budget is loose, but i'd say around $80. Less is better of course. an iphone mic is preferred, but i suppose not wholly necessary (don't really talk on the phone too much. mainly for controls). I liked the SQ of the ADDIEMs, so i'm not too keen on a downgrade.

I haven't been keeping particularly up to date with the current IEMs on the market but i'm considering

Just get the ADDIEMs again. If you were perfectly happy with them, it's not worth risking the 80$ on something that might be [in your opinion] mediocre.

If you enjoyed the ADDIEM the S4 might not fit you all that well.

Other IEM + mics that come to mind:
Nuforce NE-7M (on the bassy side + good isolation)
Me-electronics P series (differs for each model)

And of course you could just buy them again.

thanks for the input. IMO the ADDIEMs are a tad hard to beat, i just like trying new things.

i'm considering the ety hf5, and the RE0 too, as those were on my to be purchased list before i got jh5s
