Hi,
I bought a set of Sharp MD-33 IEMs a year and a half ago and they broke a few months ago. Considering I've been practically broke since then, I've been limping along with my stock iPod headphones... until now.
Is the MD-33 still a good choice for the price ($50 shipped)? Or should I splurge for the Shure E2c (~$65), Ety ER-6i (<$90 at amazon), or the Altec Lansing iM716 (~$80 at amazon)? Conversely, should I just spend $30 on EX-71s if the cords are all as fragile as on the Sharps? I liked the sound out of the Sharps, though they were occassionally boomier in the bass than I would've liked (and my Senn HD-497s lack bass, making the difference all the more apparent).
I mostly listen to Classical and Classic Rock, with some modern pop stuff thrown in there. These are going to be used with a 4G iPod, a nano, and a Shuffle.
Thanks for any suggestions/opinions!
