Looking for Recommendations- 300$

Hey guys, I am looking for some iems around the 300$ range that I can use with my iphone. I won't be amping these, so something that works well unamped would be nice. I've had both dba 02s and the audiotechnica ck10s  in the past and thought the ck10's were much much better than the dba 02s, even thought they have been described as having similar sound signatures. With this next purchase I would like something with crisp highs like the ck10s, but with a bit more bass punch.

 

I listen to primarily indie rock- bands like radiohead, wilco, arcade fire, lcd soundsystem but also delve into some hip hop- kanye, jayz, nas as well as house/dubstep.

 

Any help is appreciated thanks.

Ive got Shure SE535's with a DHC Symbiote Cable. I highly recommend these headphones, and your budget allows for them.

thanks for the suggestion. I actually ended up splurging and getting the Westone W4rs. Would the Symbiote Cable do well with these phones?

Personally for me the Symbiote cable was night and day change for me. It made my lush,warm SE535's more neutral with the balanced sounding Symbiote cable.

The Sony  EX1000 are very detailed in mids with extended high and offers goood bass punch with wide soundstage but Westone 4R are good buy too.
