Please note that, the above mentioned are just and only first impressions of the AR E10 in listening to an album. And, it probably does not mean much to anyone because, there is no basis of comparison in terms of the IEMs we own, how ours ears are accustomed to a sound signature preference and etc.
I do have few IEMs below USD$500 range, on top of my head:
Dynamic Drivers: Sony MDR-EX800 ST (with tape mod), Sony MDR EX600, , Sony XB90EX, TFZ King, JCV HA-FXT208se, RHA T10i, Sennheiser i8
Balanced Armatures: NuForce HEM4,
Hybrid: Sony XBA H3 & Pioneer SE CX9S
Some of the above list are packed and stored somewhere i.e. not been listening for a long time

, but if it is helpful to you to have a quick comparison. I will try to find sometime and do my best

.
Cheers
