I know you guys get alot of these questions and I have searched and read till my eyes have gone crooked, but I am still undecided. I am looking at getting some IEM's which will be used with my IPod Touch 2g and right now I don't plan on adding an amp but I have been eyeing the fiio E5. I am by no means an audiophile however I want the best sound I could possibly get for my budget which is around $300 or less. I originally started looking at the Ety er6i's, the UE Super fi5's and some of the Shure models. I then read a thread on here about the Hearyourself C2's and thought that would be the way I would go. I like the fact that the C2's are custom molded and thought I would like them over the other type of IEM's however I have never owned a custom molded set. What are your guys opinions when it comes to these different models? Like I said, I am willing to pay around $300 but is I could get a pair for less that sound just as good or better that would be great. I am open to other IEM's other than just the ones that are listed. I am also not torn between dual and triple drivers eventhough triples would be nice (I think). Right now I have the JVC Marshmallow's and a pair of Maximo's just to give you an idea of what I have now. Any help or suggestions you guys could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I listen to a variety of music from Country to Rock to Alternative to some Classical and very little hip hop type music. So pretty much everything if that helps.

After doing some more reading, I think I have narrowed it down to 3. The Westone 3's, the UE Triple.fi 10's, and the Hearyoursrelf C3's. I am leaning towards the Westone 3's because of the rave reviews they are getting and the fact that the reviews say they fit the best out of the universal IEM's. The C3's because I have heard they sound great but also because they are custom fitted obviously. I'm putting the UE Triple.fi10's at the bottom of the 3 because some say they do not fit as well as the Westone's and if I'm spending this kind of money, I want the fit to be amazing. Any thoughts on which one between the Westone 3's and the C3's? I'm hoping I am comparing apples to apples with these two. Thanks
