Hello all,
I need to replace my Klipsch x10i's as they have started to die and cut out in one ear. I am ideally looking for something in roughly the same price bracket maybe a little more. I have been looking through the guides and comparisons and was thinking either the Eytomic HF5 or Yamaha EPL-100.
I am happy with the sound quality from the x10i, my main criteria are something that is as light-weight and comfortable as the Klipsch headphones, they should be IEM and be able to be worn straight down as I hate the over ear ones. I am also happy with a mic and remote line as I will often use them to make phone calls while I travel as well. The only real problem I had with the Klipsch was the build quality which is what has now gone even with careful use and storage.
I mainly listen to jazz, easy listening, swing, digital radio and podcasts either through my phone or computer in the office. Generally I do not listen to music that loud however I will turn it up to drown out the tube/traffic noise a little while commuting. Not sure if there is anything in this price range that would have replaceable cables without being over ear?
Any advice/recommendations welcome.
Regards,
