I'm looking for IEMs under $130 and I'm not sure what's out there. I've look at RHA m750s, some different ultimate ears and Akg 375. I'm looking for a wide soundstage and pretty flat sound but not opposed to something that may sound a little colored. A little extra bass and treble couldn't hurt. Trying to get some before black Friday so help me!

First of all, you may find more help in the recommendations thread http://www.head-fi.org/f/7840/introductions-help-and-recommendations
 
But, I would suggest starting with the RE400 http://www.amazon.com/HiFiMAN-RE400-HIFIMAN-RE-400-HEADPHONES/dp/B00AWLEAH6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1385525070&sr=8-1&keywords=re400
 
Or the R-50 (on sale for the time being) http://www.lendmeurears.com/product_info.php?currency=USD&products_id=79
 
Both are pretty flat and neutral overall (with the RE400 having a slightly warm tone, very slightly, and the R-50 having a slightly brighter tone with the analytical signature treble lift), so I would suggest starting there. Both have excellent soundstages, both certainly wide enough, especially for earphones having flat signatures, but won't be as wide as the GR07.

Thank you I currently have the RHA m350 and they're starting to disappoint me I really want clarity and strong presence. Something that is very punchy but articulate. I listen to a lot of metal, r&b, rap, rock, trance, and dub step/electronica. Its hard to find a headphone that does it all. I've looked at demon, RHA, etymotics, UE, sennhesier, shure, vmoda, and Yamaha I'm trying to keep this under $120.
