My HF2 broke and they're not covered in the warranty so I'm looking for a new headset with mic for my phone. I love the Etymotic crisp, clean sound but I'm looking for something cheaper ($50 or less) with natual sound.
 
I'm considering the MC2/3 but maybe there are other (cheaper) alternatives out there. I've been using Etys for many years, so I could try a different brand.
 
EDIT: Is it possible to modify a headset with high bass with the EQ? If so, I could get something like it.

No one? **bump**

You mean to buy a bassy IEM and remove the bass to listen regularly?

Well, yes. Many of the IEM with good reviews have enhanced bass and since I want a more natural sound, I wonder if I could just neutralize it or tone it down a bit. I listen to a lot of acoustic folk so I like my highs. However, I prefer the music to sound as natural as possible.

Yes you can, I think some IEMs respond very good to EQ. But that's if you can find one with a mic.

IMO, the MC5/2/3 responds to EQ very well, you can add a good bit of bass. Also I'd recommend the HA-FXC51 but there's no mic version.

Ah, thanks.
