The Denons have some good pointers on being both bass-rich without losing high details (unlike the atrio m5s that have a warmer signature), and could offer the best of both worlds (more bass than the Q jays, better highs than the atrio). Not sure about the Shures, though your price range seems a bit smaller than what these phones retail for ($170-200).
If isolation is another big priority (in environments with loud, low-frequency sound), then your aim is either with the SE310s or the Atrios since they're the only real isolating IEMs here.
