What about simply durable? i really just listen to podcasts. I would like a right angle plug too. Thanks. Headfiers are amazingly helpful as always.

 Just durable? You can try the S0, nice cable, metal body too.

I have a question, @ljokerl , What are the best universals, in the best soundstage, the largest soundstage, to have bass, best details, and best treble extension?.. Simple, i want just the best that can be universals, considering these factors.

how do you think that you wear them mostly? 
Like @suman134 said, s0 are very sturdy, also SS are sturdy... 
Sennheiser ocx685i are more durable.. sennheiser cx3.00 are pretty hard to break... pioneer se e721 should be good too...
 
i use mye ie8 for working out... they are durable, but cost aroun 300$...

Maybe the 1964Ears V6-Stage made in universal fit would get you close (if you can stretch your budget).

Thanks for the suggestion but it is over my budget unfortunately. I''ll just wait and see what Joker thinks will be a cheaper togo 334 alternative with around the same performance.

Any plans to test the FX850?

skerry , i am starting to believe you are simply trolling us , asking the same questions again and again and again 2 months now

 
just buy one TOTL iem , and if you don't like it sell it , buy another one - repeat the procedure
 
there is no such thing as 'the best' - there is only 'the one you like more' and this you will find out by buying/trying out iems
 
start buying pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

well... i asked a different question every single time... but oh well... i was searching for a different signature every single time i was asking for help... because i am still discovering what type of signature i like.. 
 
why would you answer not nice to a person that asks a question more than one time?
 
most people feel the need for assurance in what they do.. i just like to read and hear people's thoughts... i am going to buy, if i keep my mind like this, probably all the universal flagships, ultrasone iq, ie800 and k3003, i am wondering if there is an universal version of a custom, or something that i cannot fiind in romania that is better than these ones
 
sorry for being so persistent, and i apologize for being anoying and asking the same things over and over again...

Just get the JVC-FX850 and save the rest of your money for college or something. Jumping on these giants is not always good.

How do these compare with Sony EX1000?

A seller I know claimed the Ex1000 and fx850 have the same signature, the ex1k has better soundfield while the fx850 is more fun

I own the JVC and heard a friends ex1000. The JVC ha so much more low end impact. Soundstage is indeed a bit bigger on the sony. Sound signature wise I am not so sure of calling them the same. The JVC is definitively fun and refined but I might give the Sony the detail advantage but sonic memory over a few weeks is not really reliable....after hearing the Sony I am not tempted to replace the JVC with them. Hope that helps.

Not at this time.
 

How about the Shure 846?

 
Have it, hate the size. Hurts my ears after 30 mins or so. Don't think I can be fair evaluating the sound of it for that reason so I haven't used it much.

Hmm... maybe EarSonics SM3 or even SM2? Although the TG334 does not sound like what you were asking for previously - it doesn't exactly have treble sparkle - the opposite, actually.

Help for Skerry:
I just received my FX850's this morning. Only played them a little while but highly recommend them if you love big sounds, with deep and luscious timbre on string and wind instruments. Seem to envelop you in warm tones.
There seems enough detail too on the mids and highs...and the soundstage and separation is plenty good enough for me. The closest i've heard to a headphone in an IEM. At the moment I haven't noticed any difference in size of soundstage between these and the Havi's. In fact the 850s for me sound bigger just because they seem to envelop you more. They're very male v more female sounding Havi's. Yes they're coloured. But hey so what if you enjoy them. Just a bit of b/g hiss using my C5/X3 pairing which is mildly irritating. So far so good at least. Good value but not heard the ie8, 800's and all the big boys etc to compare.

Sorry. What is the so?
