Joker,

Planning to review the ATH-IM lineup? They look great on paper.

 
Tried the IM50 briefly and thought it was quite good, but no plans to get a pair in for full review at this time.
 
  Any opinions on the new MEElectronics M6 PRO?
Thanks

 
Never tried it. Surprised I didn't notice it at CES but I guess it looks like a regular M6.

What JVC do you have atm?? I would say to check out the new JVC that are on the way. The FR100X, slated for March, are a few weeks away.  Street price will be $50 or probably even less at some places.

The older version of those. They have the XX branded on them. I paid $7 for them on clearance at kmart lol. I need something sooner though. I have lost the left channel.

  some creative in ear, or steel series... i am not sure if on that budget you can fiind any creative aurvana in ear, or some steel series flux or something similar...

Thanks but I will kill those in short order. I need pretty sturdy wiring. Perhaps I need to look at workout iems.

then, sennheiser cx200 are a little harder to break
 
sennheiser cx 300-II precision are good sounding and pretty durable. cheap also...
 
Akg k374 are nice, probably even sennheiser ie4 can fit in your budget. i have no ideea what they cost for you, in europe sennheiser tends to be cheaper, and other brands more expensive...
 
these 4 should fir in your money, sound pretty nice and are pretty durable... these come to my mind, there are far better probably..

If durability is very important and you want to stick with a bass-heavy sound, maybe the RHA MA350? Not the best or most accurate-sounding set, but it hits those two requirements very well.
 
  Great thread as always, Joker
 
What should I be looking at if I wanted a straight shot upgrade from the JVC FXT90?  Nothing wrong with mine, just getting the upgrade itch.

 
I've always thought the 1964EARS 1964-V3 was a good upgrade from those JVCs

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.
