I'm done with UE. In few years two pairs of 5 Pros died on me with same symptom - one of the drivers going silent. But I love their warm sound signature - pronounced but tight bass, detailed mids, slightly rolled but pleasant highs and wide, spacious soundstage. Works great for the on the go music I listen most such as classic hard rock, acoustic jazz and symphonic. Now I have to listen to my old Shure E3c but they aren't as engaging and too neutral to me.
So given budget of no more than $300 (better less) what would you recommend with similar sound but more reliable?
