This is a review of a pair of free IEM's I recieved from DUNU as part of a give away contest they recently held here on Head-fi. When I recieved my package the first thing I notices was...

Best closed headphones I had heard - very flat response, almost no midrange distortion, very easy to drive (good for portable), good soundstage (definately better than K240), good isolation, but...

Overall excellent buds, very good sound quality, especially for their price, the medium set of tips fits exactly in my ears and provides a near perfect seal. Bass is very detailed, but not...

I'll keep this very short. They are very smooth sounding. Treble toned down so not so good for rock but have a magic about them that makes them better than mark 2. I use them with a '89/'90...

Bought these on whim, for your basic train ride to work I don't mind. But its far from being the best I have own.

A set of studio monitors would be an upgrade in your budget the Mackie MR5 and JBL2325p are good.
The Swan M200 are pretty reasonable speakers; I'm not sure you can do much better for $300. What is it about your present system that you would like to improve?
I don't think you can do much better than the M200s either from what I hear. I just had a listen to a lot of studio monitors at the local guitar center. The mackie MR5/8 MK2s really impressed me out of all of them, with a superb mix of bass and clarity, although I don't know how much of an upgrade over the M200s would be. I think you'd have to expand your budget to get a true upgrade.
Why the need to upgrade? Are the swans too fatiguing? If you want better sound maybe try upgrading to the Swan MK 2 it's one step up the line. And can be had for around $250
