Hello Head-Fi forum!
 
Since purchasing the Sennheiser Momentum headphone back in January ( Thank you HeadFIers for suggesting!), i've during the last months, thought of replacing my now old, Klipsch S4I IEM. 
 
So i've finally decided. 
And here i'am waving my 350 $ at the manufacturer with the "best bang for the buck" in the price-range. 
 
After a couple of hours researching, i've found the "Sennheiser IE80", the next generation IE8 with a bit toastyer bass whom seem to fit my taste in looks, and has promising reviews. 
BUT, before i decide on grabbing these bad boys. ( http://www.head-fi.org/products/sennheiser-ie80 ) I would like to ask about YOUR opinion. 
Which IEM headphones would you grab if you had 350 $ and why?

For the type of music you listen to the IE80 is perfect. you can get it for cheaper than $350 if you look around. But make sure you buy it genuine and authentic. If you want a step up for $100 dollars more, get the Aurisonics ASG-2. It is like the IE80 but with more detail. I've used the IE8/80 for the past few years. Loved the IE8, sold it for the IE80. Used the IE80 as my primary iem. It has a beautiful rumble and overall complete sound that I craved. I am a house-head. I mix with the IE80's and my mixes come out great. When I listen to house, heavier bass type music, the sound that comes out of these is wonderful, post burn-in.
