Head-Fi Novice searching for IEMs for Classical

Hello to the world of Head-Fi. I have been a reader for a few years but have only recently made an account. I'm looking for any advice on modestly priced (<$100) IEMs that would be decent for listening primarily to classical music. I'm looking for some really portable IEMs that I would use without an amp. I'm not expecting these to be perfect but I figured I would look for advice on here to boost my music listening experience while walking around campus, etc.

 

Thanks for the help!

The Etymotic HF5 are $95 on Amazon right now. IMO the best, most detailed sound your're going to find in the $100 price range. Great for classical music. Be aware that they block out a ton of noise, and that was a concern of mine when I used these on a busy campus with crossing streets and whatnot.

The Etymotic HF5, Brainwavz M4, RE0, RE_ZERO are recommended and they are very detailed in mids, highs and isolate well.
