I'm adding the meeelectronics M161p as a top contender on my list as well. I'm really stuck between these, the gr07 bass edition, or stepping up to music ones. The gr07 seems to be the gold standard, but I'm worried about the noise isolation.

So since you all do not believe that the EP2's are not the best or one of the better options, what do you think are the best in the sub $200 range, that include a mic (and controls if possible)?

I'm back...looking for my next set of IEM's, this time with a budget of around $200. I have pretty much the same priorities as my first post, although phone controls in addition would be nice. Sound isolation and bass are still important. Listening to more edm now days. Some considerations...

^^yep, the M6's seem to have bass when you want it, but not too overpowering. I actually just recommended them to my mother as well...M6p's were sold out, so she ordered the M9's.   I still might pick up the M2's though, because I do love the extra bass...

Just received my M6's today...   I've been using them for the last 15 minutes or so...and all I can say is: Wow!   For IEM's that cost me $16 USD...these are amazing. Sound great, fulfilling bass (not too overpowering or muddy), clear highs, cord seems to be tangle free, many tips and a...

Update - I started by ordering the M6's (cheap, and used Best Buy rewards certs). I plan on using these for working out and as a "base line" for comparison to others. Assuming the M6's are not amazing....I'll probably pick up the M2's next.

Where is the best place to buy the Brainwavz M2's? I see them on MP4Nation and Amazon (sold my MP4Nation), however I've read a few threads here that say the quickest they have gotten items shipped to them from MP4Nation is 2 months! I'd rather not wait 2 months for them to arrive!   I also...

Any other thoughts on the M2's? I'm kinda leaning towards those....  

tell us more about what you are looking for...types of music you listen to, budget, etc.

I'll have to look more into the Sony's. I used to be a huge Sony fan and buy Sony everything...until I realized that with certain products, there were better alternatives. Thanks for the input!

Hello all,   First, I would like to thank everyone for their reviews and input. I have been trolling a read a few threads - very helpful!   Here's my situation..   -looking to replace my vmoda bass freq's --yes, they had muddy bass and lacked definition. I've been through two...
