Help with new IEM between 200-250U$

Hi all,

i was loocking for a new pair of IEM.

Im getting out from a CKM55, but i want " grow up " in this IEM world.

So... i was loocking for some models and reviews... but i want help to make the right choice.

The options are :

CKM99 -> 195U$
Westone 2 -> 250U$
Shure SE425 -> 264U$
Triple Fi 10 -> 280U$
EX600 -> 220U$

I Like Shure because his size i think it would be very confortable , couse ill use this at street ,at train... so i need isolation. I Hear good stuffs about Triple Fi 10 but i think it´s too big to using at street. but maybe im wrong.

Im south america , so ill buy on a website ... by this way im maybe restrict to buy other models. But suggestions are welcome.

What you guys have to me ? In this options, what you be the Sound Quality sequence ? And a Cost/Benefit sequence?
 Maybe would i wait for Sony/audio techinica new realeases ?

I like rock sound, some japanese stufs... Mainly Dream Theater, Iron Maiden... something like that.

Im waiting, thank you guys.

Consider the Vsonic GR07s too. I own one and they're really good value and especially for the genres you've mentioned. You can find them for ~$160

Jabens is the best place to buy them in Australia. 

 

I got it from an authorised dealer from HK on ebay but if i knew that Jabens had them, i would've got them from Jabens because its just easier for support and warranty. Jabens is a authorised dealer as well

 

EDIT: I'm walking about the GR07s btw

I've never bought at ebay, im little afraid about that. And about shipping to Brazil maybe it'll be too much, also some users don't send here =\

i was thinkin in buy at accessoryjack, that i already bought and know it's really works with good service and freeshipping.

The Westone 2 also offers good isolation and comfort. Both the Shure and W2 can be had at earphonesolutions with 25% off. The TF10 can also be had for much cheaper - many people  on eBay are selling it for just a bit over $100 and even amazon still have them for $163.99.

So why i found a "normal" and "Pro" Model on the web ? =\

 

earphonesoluitons appears to be nice, but the shipping cost will screw up .
