Hi guys,
So I had a pair of Trinity Delta (the first version) IEM's that I really liked, but unfortunately, I have now lost them as I accidentally left them on an Amtrak train.
As a result, I need to purchase something to replace them. The things that are important to me are:
1. A reasonable level of neutrality while not sacrificing fun, sparkle, or bass. Something warm-leaning is preferred over something bright.
2. Good build-quality and long-lasting cables that won't short out are essential. One thing I loved about the Trinity Delta IEM's was their incredibly sturdy build and long-lasting braided cable; depite the cable not being replacable, the IEM's lasted me someth8ing like three or four years without ever showing any signs of problems. In terms of whatever new IEM's I get, I do NOT want something that will end up having a short-circuit in the cable after the first six months or a year or so, which is a major problem I have experienced in the past with IEM's in this price-range.
3. Price up to $100, but under $80 is preferred if at all possible.
4. They have to fit my small ear-canals. I have pretty narrow ear-canals, and in the past I have found that there are many IEM's which do not fit comfortably in my ears, so I need something narrow enough to accommodate this.
5. Isolation is not a top priority but I still care about it.
Any recommendations or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
