I might be coerced into stretching the budget, but only for a truly fantastic bang-for-buck option. The reviews for the R-50 are pretty positive, but I've seen more than a few comment on the lackluster build quality. For $120, I'd prefer to have IEMs that will last for awhile.

Hey guys!   So this serves as an introduction/recommendation thread as this is my first post. I'm very interested in audiophile culture and the gear that goes along with it, but I've found the IEM reviews to be a bit overwhelming. I'm looking for a pair that will be used for portable music...
