Best custom in-ear monitors (IEM's) available for under £250 ($400)?

Hi everyone

This is my first post

I was wondering if anyone could tell which is the best custom in-ear monitor available for under £250 ($400) ?

I want to use them on my iPhone 3G. I listen to mostly pop, dance, rnb, ambient, chillout music.

I live in the uk, so i dont mind purchasing somethnig from the usa, as long as the total including shipping, duty and VAT doesnt go over £250.

So far these are what ive got in mind but cant choose. so hope someone can help me out!!!

1. LIVEWIRES (Twin drivers) price $270 (£170) - USA
2. Alienears C2-PRO (twin drivers) price $370 (£232) - USA
3. Sleek Customs (single driver) price $300 (£188) - USA
4. ACS T3 (Single driver) price $365 (£229) - UK

1. LIVEWIRES:

Ive been tempted by the livewires but the gold cable connector blob puts me off, plus the colour options available is poor, but on the positive side people say they sound GREAT!!! AND ARE VERY CHEAP!!!!

2. Alienears C2-PRO:

Not heard much about these, are they any good? how do they compare with the rest in terms of quality, sound and price?

3. Sleek Customs:

These look very nice but was wondering how they sound considering they only contain a single driver? do these sound better compared with the ones that ive listed with contain twin drivers?

4. ACS T3:

These have an advantage of being located in the uk. but price seems high for a single driver unit and i cant find any proper reviews on it!! i have a feeling these are not worth the price for what you get, compared with the rest of the IEMs that ive listed.

Im currently using Ultimate Ears Super Fi 5 Pro earphones, so do these custom IEMs sound better? and how well is th isolation? because i have problems fitting the ultimate ears in my ears properly and tend to fall out, so defo want to get some customs.

Thanks

p.s im not after any custom sleeves for the ulimate ears, because they too expensive, so i'd rather get a proper pair of custom IEMs

Thanks for the quick replies everyone. Im definately not getting the UE-4, alienears c2-pro, or the fidelity triple driver (formerly known as the livewires - thanks to pianist for pointing it out) because the custom and duty plus also the shipping is going to be way too expensive. If i lived in the usa then it would have been a completely different story. The ACS T3 is also a no, because i read a review somewhere and the guy who brought it wasnt very impressed. So that leaves me with the Fidelity dual drivers vs the Sleek customs. I only wished the fidelity's looked nearly as good as the sleek customs which excuse the pun look very SLEEK . The Fidelitys look very ugly, i wish they had an option to put the cable like in the sleek customs and not in the middle! So im moving towards the sleek customs now, but people say the bass is lacking! because i listen to trance and dance music mostly, i dont think the sleeks would suit well. So its either going for something that looks good, but lacks in bass (sleek customs) or going for something that looks ugly but has good bass (fidelitys). I bet more people would have brought the fidelitys if they looked as good as they sound which is a shame! i think ill go for the sleeks! i should be able to live without the lack of bass!

Thanks. The Bass+ and treble- option will do well. BTW when did the price for the sleeks go up? i checked today in the morning and it said $349!! gone up by $49! im sure they were $300 before? i thought things might get cheaper because of the recession, not go up also what the best way to get in contact with sleek? is email a good option using the form on the website because it might be expensive to ring to the usa from the uk, trying to explain my preferences.

Heres a very good review of them:

The person in the review is saying they sound very simliar to the more expensive ue-10 except dont have that much punch, but its a small price to pay when you think that your saving $500!!!

Plus also the 15% VAT charge! uk people always get skanked! Jus go for the fidelitys! $259 for dual driver model! After all the charges they should come to less than £200! Which isnt too bad! Plus they sound great! The looks of them might put u off, but its the sound quality thats most important at the end of the day! Also VAT charges going to go upto 15% at end of december 2009, so get em whilst their cheap!
