I've been buying 20-30$ IEMs, and they usually stop working in about 2 months, and the sound quality and build isn't that great.
I've decided to up my budget for some decent IEMs that are built well enough to last a long time. I'm willing to put them in a case/roll them properly also.
Shipping to Toronto, Canada by the way.
 
Thanks

These are good places to start. Also, what sound signature do you expect and what sort of music do you listen to?

I looked at the reviews already.So far I'm leaning towards the MEElectronics M6.
In terms of music: from Jedi Mind Tricks, WuTang, Nas, to Led Zepp, GnR, Metallica, Pantera, Megadeth, to Pink Floyd, The National, Tool, etc.
 
Anything to cater to pretty much everything?

I haven't heard the m6 yet, but they have pretty good reviews and I am not sure wether there is a deal that when you buy an m6 U get a m9/p for free. It was there like a couple of days ago. 
 
It should do well for music you listen though.

You should be able to get a ViSang R03 off of ebay for less than $65. The M6 are great earphones that have no microphonics and can take a lot of abuse but they are a clear step or two below the R03 in sound quality. The build of the R03 has held up quite well for me and they seem sturdy enough to last for a long time if treated properly.

So an update, I got them in the mail today. Shipping was actually pretty fast for paying minimum.
 
All I can say is that I'm blown away by quality. I always on the <20$ IEM buyers boat. Pitching in a little more for these M6's was really worth it, the sound is just noticeably SO MUCH better than before. Everything sounds so much better.
Guess I'll be spending more on my audio equipment in the future, don't know if that's a good thing or not :frowning2:
 
Thanks again guys. I can't do a full review like you guys since I'm pretty new to this, but maybe once I learn :wink:
 
Thanks
