My beloved Phonak Audea is getting harder and harder to find. Yes I still have a pair and I'm repairind my other paid.
Yet, I want something also in the future that :
- Fits Comply P-series foams (the longest, best isolating foams with narrow hole. Comply doesn't advertise Phonaks as compatible with P-seriers, but they fit fine, I've used them for years now. Compy advertises T-150, T-160, T-130 compabitiliby with Phonaks) : http://www.complyfoam.com/products/p-series/
- Are deep inserting (none of my blocky big Shures/Westone are deep inserting, Phonaks are, you can just shove them really deep, if needed)
- Have a proper inline microphone (Android / Samsung compatibility preferred), at least 1 button control
- Cable replaceable (with inline mic option again).
Phonaks offered all these, but are getting harder/more expensive to find and they keep breaking down in use (cable is not replaceable).
So, what I'm after is the most isolating, universal, complyfoam P-series fitting, deep-inserting IEMs with Android inline mic and replaceable cable.
Does it even exist?
Apparently Earsonics SM-2 and SM-3 fit P-series, look fairly deep inserting and have a replaceable cable. But no inline mic options!
FutureSonics has G-series, but no mic and cable is permanent.
I've searched far and wide and Westones, AKGs, Sennheiser, Sonys, etc.
Yes there is Shure (not so deep inserting) and you can buy the Shure CBL-M-K cable, but those keep breaking down rapidly and the cable ir 50EUR a pop.
