Good sounding, robust IEM advice

[CageyH]

My IEMs have given up the ghost.
I am looking for a new pair that sound good. They don’t have to be the best, as I use them when cutting the grass.
The important criteria is that they are robust, and the headphone connector is not too chunky, so it fits in the slot of the case of my phone. Nothing too expensive is required, as it will be a waste.

Any suggestions?

Check out models made by KZ, they vary in price from £10 upwards. I've been using a pair of KZ ES4s for about a year now and find them extremely good sounding, they retail for around £15.

The most indestructible IEMs I have ever owned are Shure SE215, they are built for concert musicians and are extremely durable. But their fit is not to everybody's liking.

Thanks for the feedback guys.
I have two pairs of the SE215, but the plug does not fit in my phone case.

I am half tempted to try some Cambridge Audio Melomanias.

Maybe try a replacement cable? Might be cheaper than getting a new set of IEMs :-)

Mine are an old model with a fixed cable, so might be SE210 or SE205?

A quick google suggests they are indeed the SE210.
I have had them for years....

The jack in my phone no longer holds the lead in so I went for some bluetooth IEMs and I am very impressed.
Got Enacfire G20 units with built in noise cancellation and I have been impressed with the sound and the fit but might be a bit too pricey for you - I paid £49.99 from Amazon.
Just a thought.
