Hello members of the Head-fi community!
I've recently bought a pair of the regular Monster Turbines, and I was quite satisfied with them at first. I loved, loved the sound, this coming from a pair of Sennheiser CX 300 II which I found super, super harsh to listen to. I loved the bass thump, clarity and overall more warmer signature of the Turbines. However very shortly after I got them the dreaded driver flex that I read about kicked in. I returned them and received my second pair. Once again I had to return them because the left driver was quite a bit louder then the right. When I tried to return the second pair to the store I was kinda given a hard time but I still managed to receive my third pair.
Unfortunately my third pair is the old version. So I didnt get both carrying cases, no ear hooks and instead of the right angled jack I have a straight one. Also I found now that none of the old tips fit my ears properly.
The whole mess left me with a bad taste in my mouth for monster. I dont want to have to return another pair just to get stuck with something that either may be faulty or get another old version again.
My question to all you knowledgeable Head-fiers is... what IEM can I get around the 200 to 300 dollar range that may have a similar sound signature to my turbines? Plenty of sub bass and with little to no harshness, and above all QUALITY. I want to buy something that I know unless I break it myself... that it will be with me for a long time.
Thank you.
