Good In-Ears With Solid Cable

[Jussy]

Hey, so my IEMs just died... and I'm looking for some good quality IEMs that sound great and have an extremely sturdy cable, I'm good at wrecking the cable .

Anything around $50 to $100 should be great.

Sennheiser IE4. I don't know about extremely sturdy, but the cable is more rugged than on most in-ears.

I have a CX870, which is discontinued now, but i had absolutely no problems with the cables so far.

VSonic VSD3 and VSD3S have a removable cable, meaning you can replace it if it breaks.

Sennheiser's cables suck. How long have you had the CX870?

Two years. Before that I had an MX65VC, did not have a problem with that either. What really sucked though, was the MX75. The cables looked like a salad after a year, so I get where the whole 'Sennheiser cables suck' thing is coming from. They are a lot better today though.

I had an IE60 and the cable broke within 6 months.

WTF. At that price, it definitely should not happen. What did you do with it?

The plastic/rubber isolation came off of the wire near the right earpiece during normal use. Technically, it still worked, but I was uncomfortable wearing it after the wires were exposed.

 

The RMA process was painless, but I still feel the cable should've been better for the price. I sold the replacement because I didn't want the same issue to happen again, and have been perfectly happy with sub-$100 IEMs since.

Totally understandable. It's a shame though, i was thinking about buying an IE60 as a replacement.
