Ok so I have had the CX95 for a little over 2 years now. An incredible pair of IEMs, I can thoroughly recommend them, although the treble sounded a bit tinny when I first bought them (I was thissss close to returning them) I gave them a little time and they are my favourite pair of earphones I have ever had. Unfortunately now the cabling seems to be going, that's what they get for almost daily usage and world travel, basically the sound keeps cutting out unless I keep adjusting and playing with the wiring.Now then I wish to upgrade from these babies, something perhaps a tiny bit more bassy but in a good price range, was there any logical upgrade released? I cannot find anything from the CX95s. If anyone who has owned a pair of these beauties and could contribute then please let me know. Failing all that I will just buy another pair for £40 if I have to.Thanks guys!!

The ie6's sound, to me, like them with more bass.

Could you give more detailed description?

Personally, I like the CX 95 myself. Last year, its product line underwent a facelift and it was repositioned as CX 550 Style II.
 
For an upgrade, you may want to consider the CX 980 or the IE range.

If that's true (cx 95 now cx 550 style II), then I definately recommend the ie6. I tried the 550s and didn't like them too much. IE 6 have more bass but it's very deep bass. I mean, they totally don't sound dark or muddy, like other bass-capable phones do, since the lower mids are not affected by bass punch. They also sound clearer and have brilliant but not sibiliant highs, which is why I really love them for listening to classical and jazz/jazzrock - it's really a pleasure to enjoy cymbals and hihhat with ie6. I also tried ie7 and ie8. Loved ie8 since they sounded like ie6 but again a good bit clearer to me. IE7 are a very little more detailed but I didn't like the bass too much, since they don't have it where I need it, like vor Blues, Rock and Metal.
 
Ah good news aside: neither of these three will ever let you down with broken cable - they are the most robust I've ever seen.
 
Greets!
