These are all things I haven't found from searching for many hours on many forums.
My pair of Klipsch S4 got stolen so I'm tossing up between S4 II (apparently very similar in sound to original) and Shure se215. Open to alternative suggestions, though only around this price range.
I mainly listen to rock (ACDC, Arctic Monkeys), though vocals are very important for my favourites (Florence + the Machine, The xx), I do enjoy bass though (Tiesto, Dubstep).
Was extremely happy with sound from S4 though nothing much for comparison(came from SoundMagic PL50, big jump) and am wondering which will be best for my musical taste.
After reading a couple of reviews I found it mentioned somewhere a bloke regretted not buying se215's over S4's. Thus, my only experience with foam ear tips wasn't very pleasant as I didn't think they were comfortable and I couldn't get both to sit in my ear without digging them in deep to my ear, which felt weird.
Concerns with Shure se215:
If I do get the Shure se215's I'll do a very detailed video comparison (with my friend's pair for S4) covering everything I've read to do with physical differences and my own input for music preferences.
Absolutely any input/reply is welcome and appreciated.

Concerns with Shure se215:
- Comfortable wearing glasses?
- I really prefer rubber tip, are they any good with these? I'll wear foam if need be. (The S4 tips were amazingly comfortable and easy to put on.)
- I know there's the advantage of reinforced rubber etc around the important parts which is nice, but does this make them too bulky/heavy?
- I’ve seen for some people they’re not sitting very nicely or irritating the ear (since it’s over-ear), this was the case for my previous over-ears (soundmagic pl50) it really wasn’t pleasant/comfortable to wear them.
- In all, will I enjoy listening to them? And do you think I’ll be happy with them over the S4 II ?
