[Outdated] Upgrading from Sennheiser Momentum iems

[Bram416]

Hey im new to the forums, so sorry if this is in the wrong category.

I'm going to be returning my Sennheiser momentum in ears within the next week since the cable at the 3.5mm jack end has ripped (I think this is a common issue). I really enjoy these iems, but I dont want to keep going back for a return everytime the cable tears.

So I figure this could be a time to upgrade, I'm willing to pay up to about $180 (Australian Dollars)

I do listen to a lot of electronic and bass heavy stuff, but im lot looking for something that is necessarily bass head focussed, since I have speakers and a sub to feel that bass. I do enjoy many other genres so im not totally bass focused.

I've been looking at the FiiO F9 (regular or pro), although I havent really found any information on what their customer support is like.

Also looking at the Shure se215, although I'd like in line controls and the se215m+ doesnt support android (I have an s8).

Any other iem suggestions would be greatly appreciated (e.g. stick with the momentums ) just wanting to know if there are any significant upgrades I can take advantage of in this situation, thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

Take a look at the Simgot EN700 Pro, very good for their price.

Thanks for the reply, I checked them out but I cant seem to find anywhere in Australia that sells them (other than ebay of course) im just worried about buying something from somewhere that isn't a retailer. Thanks again for replying, any other suggestions?

Brainwavz B200 are also very good

The 1More Quad Driver is outstanding. It may be a bit over budget, but it shouldn't be by much (not sure about Au pricing). It really is a very high-performing IEM and well worth the price of admission. Just my take and YMMV, of course.

So I ended up getting the FiiO F9 Pro from a local store who let me try them first, so I could directly compare them to my momentums. I really enjoyed the FiiO's so I returned the Sennheisers and got the FiiO's, thanks everyone for all your help and input.
