Hello-
I have been looking around the past two days for a replacement for my er-6is. I have had them for several years, but find them quite fragile and lacking bass (as has been attested many, many times.) I do like their clarity, and due to the fact that I commute via train to NYC, their noise cancellation/reduction.
I've had to send them back several times for failing right channels, and I've had to replace them once before due to the long cord getting stuck on various things; last week the cord got stuck on an armrest exiting the train, killing the right 'phone.
I listen mostly to a mix of old and new rock - Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, Silversun Pickups, U2, Minus the Bear, Genesis, Filter, as well as audio podcasts and Audible audio books.
I have narrowed my list to the Head-Direct RE0, Klipsch S4, Fischer Audio Eterna, Skull Candy Holua, and the Hippo VB. I prefer a strong, clear low end. I'd like to stay under the $100 price point.
Thoughts? Thanks!
