Hi all,
 
I'm currently looking to buy a cheap pair of IEMs (around $20) and I need recommendations.  The headphones that I use most of the time right now are my UE 6000s, but I was hoping to get some cheap IEMs that I could just throw in my backpack and use on the go.
 
In terms of SQ, I was looking for something that is somewhat balanced (slight bass emphasis would be fine, but definitely nothing too overpowering).  At this price point, however, I don't really know if that's possible...
 
Anyway, I was currently considering the Meelectronics M9 and Philips SHE 3580 based on reviews I've read in these forums.  Any suggestions or new recommendations?
 
Thanks for the input!

What about that cheap $7 monoprice or from what I've read the JVC FX40 is pretty good.

I've heard good things about the monoprice 8320s as well, but I'm worried over the fit...

I just remembered the sony xba-1 can be had for around $25 if you shop around.
