Looking for new IEM: Can I get some good IEM's for under $50 USD?

Hey guys,

 

Haven't been here in awhile. I got a new cell phone and basically it has a new and big storage size so i'm getting back into listening to more music. I know that most of you are probably shuddering at the fact I listen to my music on a non-dedicated device :P but hey! Portability in an all-in-one device can't be beat sometimes!

 

Anyway, I'm looking for some good In-Ear Monitors. I've used my Shure E3c's long enough but I sincerely doubt I can find something better. I'd love to just get replacements but they're out of availability now.

 

Is there something in the market that can match Shure E3c's for $50? Or at least a few notches below? I currently have some M9P's that i'm unhappy with when I think about those Shure's but happy to know they are quite decent after wearing them in some to losen them up :)

 

Currently i'm looking at these:

I'm willing to stretch my budget a little, but $50 is my target range. Does anyone know how these compare to E3c's? I do listen to a lot of electric music and though the E3c's aren't generally geared torward electronic music, It was good enough and of course my taste in music is broad enough to truly enjoy them.

Hippo VB's, I see these are good in that giant review of In-Ear Monitors. Absolutely great resource. How do the Hippo VB's stack vs the E3c's?

 

Thanks Audiophiles! :D
