Hi,
I seem to get through more headphones than most - and I look after them well. I want a pair of tough, durable, in-ears with replaceable parts. I want to use them outdoors (walking and cycling on cycle paths in Sweden, and I realize all the arguments for and against in-ears outdoors, but every day for five years I know it's what I like), in the gym, and listening to my playlists, radio, and watching DVDs on my Macbook Pro. I use headphones a lot and like noise isolation especially when writing essays and doing research.
I loved my Klipsch S5i but they too have given up the ghost: one of the cans popped open and the wires are off. (I handed them over to a friend with a solder iron but he can't fix it).
Something with a track controller for the iphone would be nice but it's not a deal breaker.
I am no hi-fi expert, just a guy wanting a pair of in-ears that will last longer than 12 months - so tough, sounds good, has replaceable parts, works with an iPhone...
Is there anyone yet making these? I came across a start-up company called IronBuds, who has the concept down, but is yet to manufacture. All other research is fairly fruitless, so I turn to the source of all knowledge of things headphone and hi-fi =/
Huge thanks in advance!
