I've bought 3 Crossroads Mylarones since 2007, and 2 of them have crapped on me. One was an 2007 model and the other, 2009. The only thing they have in common is that my sister used them.

Is there any IEM <$150, that isolates well, and more importantly, have sturdy stock cables? I suspect that the reason both crossroads died was because of how flimsy the cables are connected to the speakers. If they look pretty, it's a bonus.

My 2+ year old livewires stock cables are still as straight as ever, I wonder if other IEMs have similar twisted cables.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Sennheiser ie4. Made with kevlar reinforced cables.

audio technica ck9 Or, Sleek Audio sa6 is in your price range. the latter having replaceable cables. But in the future, you may not want to post this in the full size forum.

Edit: so many edits.

Isn't that ie4 a canal phone like it's older brother? If so they aren't very good for isolating.

If you had an extra 20 to spend, Id go with the Hje900 which is 171 from partstore.com
