My first proper headphone that I bought is the Shure SRH550DJ. Before that, I used the earphones that come with your mobile phones. I have had them for over two months now and also like to have a pair a in-ear moniters that sound like the Shure but slightly more fun sounding but not exactly warm. How do the following pairs of iems compare and which one should i get? My budget is around $80.
 
1. Hisoundaudio Popo
2. ECCI PR401
3. Sunrise Xcape
4. Brainwavz M4
5. Hifiman RE0
6. Hippo Shroom-EB

Out of those I own the M4 and the RE-Zero (not the RE-0, it's said to be a warmer version), and I owned the SRH750. Out of that limited experience, the M4 seems like a good competitor, they are fun without having recessed mids. Nothing about the RE-Zeros/0 is fun.

bump?

I think that the Etymotic MC5s might fit that bill.
 
Good Detail on a budget. Oh, and also have super isolation too.
 
Check em out, Jim

But i thought that the mc5 is quite analytical but i will give it a look. They are also easier to find in Singapore because they are a more recognised brand. I know that the RE0 comes under the same category but they are review better.

How do the Astrotec AM90 compare to all of these? I know they are supposed to be analytical.

The AM90 is a little bit on the warm side compared to the MC5
