Hi. Nearly 10 years ago you helped me pick Phonak PFE112.
I have been using them all these years and loved the sound. I have recently changed my phone to one that doesn't have 3.5mm jack. On top of that, my Phonak's jack started acting up. I could fix it, get USB-C adapter etc... but I decided to cut my loses and get modern replacement.

So my question is, for around £200-300 what modern day equivalent of Phonak PFE112 should I be looking at? My requirements are mostly the same as last time:

- Budget of £200-300
- Wireless & Bluetooth, compatible with Android
- Neutral or slightly warm sounding, I listen to a huge variety of music so it must play nicely with everything.
- Must have Comply foams or similar
- Over-ear like phonaks were if possible

I really like neutral sound. My main headphones at home is still Sennheiser HD600 (paired with Topping DX3). My Phonaks were perfect; not too much bass, very clear mids, slightly rolled off highs. If I could get modern day equivalent that sounds the same I would be very happy.

Consider getting all three items, which are all replaceable in the future:

(get the 2.5mm version to use the btr3k balanced out)https://www.amazon.co.uk/Linsoul-Ti...qid=1660013181&sprefix=7h,aps,434&sr=8-1&th=1

https://www.amazon.co.uk/FiiO-BTR3k...r5&qid=1660011659&sprefix=btr5,aps,282&sr=8-3

Thanks but I don't want to be carrying an extra brick with me, hence why I just want bluetooth iems. If I am to stick to cable I might as well fix my phonaks.

Also, the Tri i3 Pro has a 2-pin connector, so change the UTWS5 connectors to 2-pin when pre-ordering.

After thinking about it for a week, I actually ended up buying FiiO BTR3k and replacement 3.5mm jack for my Phonaks. I soldered new jack in and it works like new!
