Sorry about that, I could of sworn I saw them on amazon for 150, but another good pair is akg's k240 for 80 on amazon, FOR SURE. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0001ARCFA

They are quite good IEM's, and for your music you'd want a real dynamic pair of IEM's, and I feel that shure has made a real killer pair when it comes to that. They use a dynamic driver which gives them incredibly detailed sound. The alternative to the se215 is the klipsch image s4i ii (for...

Se215's BETTER (not but) then both, oops

Klipsch makes some sweet iem's, and etymotics makes some descent ones as well. Look at the x7i's from klipsch and the hf5's from ety. I like the se215's but then both of those and the m-duo. I feel MEElectronics is cheaply built and they won't last long. Exact opposite with shure. Top notch...

I almost picked them up but decided to go with the 17's. Kilimanjaro's are very good yet but I don't think they would be the best choice for ath m50's. Fostex PC-100USB and e10's would be good alternatives for the e11's and the ath m50's

Yes an amp would help. I own an ath m50 and I use an amp with them for my iphone, and I've heard that the nexus 4 can kill headphones. What would your amp budget be?

Though e6's are a bit bulky and not a superb mobile amp

They do have a removable cable but their price is higher then their older model and it doesn't really change all that much, even when u need a mobile pair of phones. Also the lives would sound much better with an amp. Amps truly bring your headphones to life. They give your headphones clearer...

People say that lives have a better sound stage then the m50's and I can believe that. Sense I own them I feel that the layering isn't superb and could be quite better. The lives are priced nicely and with an amp (if it fits your budget) would really shine.

Shure Srh840's are killer as well and on amazon for 150

Quite good sound quality, but out of the ones you mentioned I would get ath m50's, really comfortable with some killer sound quality. Amazon had them for around 150

Klipsch image one is quite comfortable, they can be found on ebay brand new for around $100.00

That helps, thanks

And it's for listening to rap on my iphone

I'm wondering which one has better sound quality. I own m50's and I feel that the layering isn't that great, and there is a lack of mids and lows. Other than that I love them, but do the v moda's sound quality beat the m50's highs
