New Earbuds

[PeterPanzer]

At the moment I have the Sennheiser CX 3.00 and I am looking for an upgrade in sound quality, without going over 100€.

I use them every day at work or on the train, at home I have a pair of good Sennheiser headphones so I don't use my earbuds there.

 

I want clear sound, without it being bass heavy... A balanced sound would be preferable, but I am open to suggestions.

I have my eyes on some options already:

• Audio Technica ATH-CKS990IS - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Technica-ATH-CKS990IS-Headphones-Microphone-Control/dp/B018U941AW/ref=pd_rhf_gw_p_img_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=53AH7DGBBW2TQXPP517F
• Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-Momentum-Ear-Headphones-Android-Red/dp/B00MYYFY74/ref=pd_rhf_gw_p_img_4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=53AH7DGBBW2TQXPP517F
• 1MORE Triple Driver In-Ear Earphones - https://www.amazon.co.uk/1MORE-Earphones-Headphones-Resolution-Fidelity-Gold/dp/B01A7G35S0/ref=pd_rhf_gw_p_img_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=53AH7DGBBW2TQXPP517F

 

I was going to go for the Sennheiser but I heard that they are very fragile, and since I use my current ones every day, carry them in my bag (without case), etc... I would like something more resistant (keep in mind the ones I have right now have given me no problems despite my way of handling them).

 

Again if you have anymore sugestions besides the 3 options above please tell me, just keep in mind my price limit is 100€.  

If you need anymore information just tell me!

I had m fair bit of trouble lookinf for earbuds and ended up doing a knee jerk buy.
Since you can not try them on i can only talk about 1 pair, the one i have: Hifiman RE400 (also sub $100)

The feel decently balance considering mids an lows but have a huge fall of in the treble.

Depending on what you are used to this can be deemd severe or mild. I am used to Beyerdynamic so this was a bit frustrating. Additionally i get really sweat ear canals so they ended up being uncomfortable.

I also had a look at these:

 

• Beyerdynamic iDX 160 iE - https://www.amazon.co.uk/beyerdynamic-iDX-Premium-Ear-Headset/dp/B00NAPQM6S/ref=sr_1_1?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1533052723&sr=1-1&keywords=beyerdynamic+iDX+160+iE

They seem to be at a good price aswell, what do you guys think?

I heard those 2 but only very shortly. The only model i could have test listen on. They had a little to much bass for my taste. It coloured mids with for example adele. It was not bloated but I did not like them enought to jump the gun. Come with a bunch of accessories and i liked the flat cable etc. Would probably recommend for 60 pounds from my subjective position.

Hmmm and between the Hifiman and the Beyerdynamic which one would you recommend?

Might be able to pick up a pair of RHA MA750's for a decent price.
