HeyI understand that these earphones are discontinued , I want to know what would be a worthy replacement in terms of sound quality and how they fit . I am not a big fan of silicone , sticky in your earhole earphones . I prefer the funnel shape as they are more comfortable and stay on your ears . Apple earpods and the Samsung S 6 S 7 earphones are slightly similar in terms of shape , but how are they when it comes to sound quality ? Is the bass any good ? Also noticed Philips do a line of similar shape to the MDRED 21 s , seeing mixed reviews on those so I am unsure . Help ? Budget 1030 Source MobileRequirements for Isolation Somewhat , I want to use them on busy transportation and home . Will you be using these Headphones in Public ? YesPreferred Type of Headphone Kidneyfunnel shaped , like the Sony MDRED 21 LPs . I do not want to hear suggestions for the silicone stick in ear types . I want it so that it fits just around the earhole , not in it . Preferred tonal balance The Sony MDR ED 21 s have a very good bass level and I would like it similar to that level if all possible . Past headphones Sony MDRED 21 LPs , they were different , cheap and very good quality sound . Only thing is they werent the most durable , but for 12 they sounded just as good as ones that cost 100 . Also the shapedesign . why . cant . more . companies . use it ? Preferred Music RockMetalPunk pretty much . What would you like to improve on from your setup Nothing , I want the sound quality and design to be identical if possible . Location UK
