I have been back and forth between IEMs and another pair of closed-back over-the-ear headphones for a few weeks now. After realizing that IEMs would be more practical for me, I had no clue as to what to look for. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I listen to lots of jazz, IDM, ambient, classical, hip-hop, folk, bluegrass, jam-rock. I will be using a Fiio Mont Blanc with these so powering something high-impedance will not be a problem, although I am guessing it usually isn't an issue with IEMs.
 
Some products I have been eying are:
 
Monster - Miles Davis Trumpet
Monster - Turbine Pro Gold/Copper
Heir Audio - 3.Ai
Etymotic - ER-4PT
Logitech - UE900
Shure - 315CL
RHA - MA750
 
All the best,

I'd say the UE900, though the DN2000 is also really good.

I have the Westone W40, though it is much more expensive than the ones listed here.

Save yourself some money - T-Peos Altone200 triple hybrid.
