Hello, I have been using earphones for years and my Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pros have failed. I have gone through 2 sets of Etymotic ER6 and now these, the UE Super.fi 5s have broken at one earbud and I will be sending in to get fixed. Though I know this is maddening, I also know it is just bad luck or possibly my own fault. However, I am beginning to think that earphones are just not for me, considering I keep breaking them. As you can tell this time has really hit home since I have religiously kept them in their metal container. So I am thinking about upgrading from earphones to full fledged headphones!
However, I have a problem. I am not naive enough to think that $250 headphones will be of the same quality as my $250 Ultimate Ear Super.fi 5 Pros. So here is the question, I want equal quality to better quality than my previous set. I am sure at this point you are asking how can that be compared, well it really can not. However, what I want to know is how the quality of components and manufacturer of various headphones compare to my Ultimate Ear Super.fi 5 Pros. Also I would like to know the general quality of these various headphones in the headphone market compared to the general quality of the Super.fi 5 Pros. Once I know what price bracket and manufacturers to look at I can research until I find the one best for me.
Also, feel free to suggest headphones or ask questions or comment on anything you feel like. Honestly, I am relatively lost here and really need some help. I know what is generally good, but not what will compare to my Super.fi 5 Pro's.
Thank you for your time, you have no idea how much I appreciate it!
