I had those IEMs for two years and they never let me down. Before that I had a pair of EC3s that lasted me five years.

So I'm looking for a replacement... I am way past picking up a pair of $5 Maxell earbuds at the airport newsstand, but I have no illusions of being an audio purist. I will be connecting these things to my Nexus 5 and my MacBook Air, nothing high end.

The selling points of my Shures were, in order:

1) Bulletproof build quality
2) Flat and flush monitor casing
3) Optional triple-flange silicone tips for total sound isolation

I bought my Shures on Amazon for $99. I'm not looking to spend a whole lot more than that. If there are any other models that can compare and are in this price range, I'm game. I trust the experts on this forum than almost any other.
