I've been in the market for new 'phones since my second-hand Westone 3's started bugging out (the right bud cuts in and out).

I've been contemplating whether or not I should purchase another pair of Westone 3's, albeit brand new one's.

I listen to a lot of rock music and to an extent hip-hop. I also listen to more orchestral music with full band arrangements.

I've been thinking about having multiple 'phones as well and I'd like to hear the best recommendations everyone has. Price is a concern, no more than 400 max and personally I can't afford customs.

Not even JH5's?

Yea the JH5s are priced at 399 right now... but I mean... if you loved the Westone 3s why not get them re-molded so they sound even better/you can get a better/custom fit?

or you could contact westone to see if they have a price you can pay to fix it?
