well, my UE SF.5 pro's sound is pretty good but the cable is too short and they are way too uncomfortable for me. I also dislike the memorywire
so I'm actually looking for a possible upgrade.
my budget will be around 200 euro's if I sell the UE.
I'd like to have a iem which has a braided cable (like the westones), sound that is equal or better then the SF5 and is easy to get a seal with.
so you folks have any suggestions for a iem which I should look at ?

The super.fis came with comply foams, I just don't like the memory wire and the fact that it is pretty hard to get a seal with it.

is the SA6 any good ?
have read a lot but still can't decide.
any other alternatives ?

I'm not so certain on sa6's build quality.

You can consider those IE 8/IE 7 if you are in EU. You can get them cheap

The SA6s are pretty good. I think one of the strengths it has are detailed highs but I know it has a bass port that you can adjust to get a desired effect. (Don't know much about it though, search around).

But I know for a fact that the Etymotic 4Ps have some of the best clarity and detail you can get for 200 bucks (online and US dollars).
They have very little bass though.

EDIT: I just remembered that the IE8s from Sennhieser are great if you want to get those. They are cheaper where you are so... that is probably you best bet.
