I recently had a pair of shure e2c's and UE super fi 5's break. i'm guessing warranty won't cover either. Looking for a good isolating IE to cancel out a loud bus commute. What's currently the value champ for under $200 and the best place to get the best price. I'm looking for something durable as it will be used regularly. Thanks.

I would recommend the UE TripleFi 10s. For me they work very well and I can normally hear nothing when there on medium volume.'

+1 on the TF10's. They're a great IEM but getting a good fit can be somewhat tricky.

Durable with good isolation, I'd say the Shure SE215 or 315 would be good buys, depending on what kind of sound you want: replaceable cable, really solid housings, and they isolate like a beast.
