A lot of new IEMs have come out recently. So what are best IEMs in the $200 range now? From what I've seen, the DBA-02, Westone 2, and CK10 have gotten a lot of praise. I just want to know which ones are considered top quality so that I can look them up and decide from there.

It really depends. I'm not sure if you can find the CK10 for $200 or less but probably a bit more. If the signature of the CK10 is something you would enjoy that probably would be something you like. dba 02 is still fairly new and not too many people have it along with limited supply so will have to wait and see. I'm sure the dba 02 and the Westone 2 are good while I know the CK10 is good since out of those 3 I only own the CK10.

Klipsch Custom 3 if you are careful with the cable. They are around $120 but most agree they compete with $200+ IEMs. Do not get them if you are doing anything but sitting while listening though. The cable is garbage.
 
Fischer Audio DBA-02's, are the ones I would likely get in your price range.

A careful shopper can find the TF10, or the Turbine Pro Golds at under $200. The Panasonic HJE900s are also excellent phones at well under your limit.

The Ety ER-4 is in your range, and has a good rep, but I can't vouch for it.
