Hey, 
 
I have had my ES7s for a year and recently the left earpiece stopped working (the wire probably detached) and although I know I can probably send them back to Audio-Technica for repair, they are the most uncomfortable headphones I have ever worn, pinching my temples in a vice like grip (I tried the "mod" it does not work for me). Anyways I need recommendations for a replacement, something preferably with some real bass as I found it was really lacking in the ES7s. I enjoy listening to Alternative/Rock/Jazz/Funk/Electronic. I would rather consider something more pricey than the ES7s that will last me a long time although I am a student and I dont have more than 200-250 to shell out... 
 
Please let me know what to do as I am suffering with the ultra crappy apple earphones that do not fit in my ears which are painful! 

 
Thanks

Well, I am not so sure about if some of them are similar in sound singnature to ATH-ES7 but after all, any one of them, ^^ mentioned is big step forward in terms of SQ for You, definitely.
