I'm looking for a pair of decent midlevel IEMs for travelling and taking to school and such. I have a pair of Shure SE530s but I use these mainly to listen around home. I recently tore the cable out and had to spend $150 to replace them from Shure. I'm looking for something just to plug into my iPod for road trips and walking around school with. I'm mainly considering the UE Super.Fi 5pros because of their replaceable cable. Is there anything else in the sub $200 category that I should consider?

You might want to look into Pk2. They are inexpensive and a lot of people seem to like them around here. Or you can splurge more money and get the Pk1.

I've considered the Yuins but I'd like some degree of sound isolation so I'd prefer the IEMs.

iM716s. Google them for reviews. It just so happens I have a pair I bought as back-ups, but decided to use another pair in my collection, so I have them, brand new, in the box (never even opened). If interested, check the FS forum. I am about to post the 616s there.

Are there any other good dual drivers out there for 150-200 USD?

UM1... Best walk around phone IMO.
It is not dual driver, but very good isolation and no microphonics at all.

Yeah..i've considered the UM1's. I've actually also considered going a bit further and getting the UM2's because of their rave reviews. At $300 kinda tempting to get the Triple.fi's though for about $330. Those have a replaceable cable too so I wouldn't worry about them as much.

you cant beat um series in comfort...will beat out triple.fis for sure in that department. I'd go for um2 if you were deciding between the two.

 

[Joelc87]

I have really though about getting the UM2's because of their high comfort levels but, I think I will probably go for something from UE. I don't really care about fit that much because I have huge ear canals. I don't really care about the look of the UE's either because they fit deeper in my ears than most and so they don't stick out as much. Do many of you think the Triple.fis are worth it or should I go with the SF5s since I already have the SE530s?

Dual drivers? Super fi. 5's sound like what your looking for. They are dual drivers and have a replaceable cord.

Denon AH-C700 is very nice too, especially for the price.
