Hello everyone. I know that we don't really need another "Which headphones should I get?" thread, but I've been searching for a few hours now and just can't seem to find what I'm looking for.
 
I received Weston 3s with UM56 customs for my birthday two years ago. They sound great, but I've gone through three pairs because of broken drivers, and the custom ear tip option isn't really a great option for me because my ear canals curve very sharply. They're out of warranty, so now I'm looking for full customs.
 
Honestly, I would like to stay away from Westone for now. I would like to keep this purchase under $500. I listen to mostly indie rock.
 
Here are the prospects I've come up with so far:
-Fidelity Triples
-Fidelity 2X3
-UE4
-UE1
-JH5
-Any of those triple/dual driver cans from Alien Ears
 
Can anyone recommend (or recommend against) any of these headphones? Which of these would be best for me?
 
Thanks!
 
Edit: I forgot to mention that I'm going to college for music production starting next year, so if any of these monitors are good for that kind of thing, that would be great.

You should contact Spyro about the JH5. He has a thread here http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/526436/and-he-walked-away-with-a-smile-a-jh5-review about his experience and compares them to the W3, which he likes quite a lot here: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/529976/my-new-jh5-s-versus-my-w3-s
Hope that helps!
