Hi guys, I've got a pair of etymotic hf3s which are on the fritz(old hf5).I bought them on a whim when they were on sale and sadly many years later they are giving out. I was amazed at the level of detail they showed and they were what really got me into audiophile level gear. I've bought several pairs of over ears, but I never upgraded my in ears because they were still so good. Now that I'm looking for a replacement, my first thought was to go up a level and get the er4 but I would really like to keep the price under 200, and I would like something with a little more base. While I adore the analytical nature of them, and I love how I hear detail I've never heard before in them, I just would like something a little more 'fun' sounding.
So if you have any recommendations for something with good detail in the mids and highs but a little more oomph in the lower end than the etymotics, I would really appreciate it. I've never researched IEMs before so I'm a bit lost and any pointers will help. I'm entirely ok with over the ear style, and if at all possible I would like detachable cables, because I always seem to have cable issues. Thanks in advance, and happy listening.
