Vsonic GR06 + TB EZQ + Crossfeed using J River = 150-200+ dollar in-ear
With some EQ in the treble the sound fantastic.
 
The AT CKM500 is pretty darn nice sounding but have annoying microphonics.
The ones on your list are pretty mediocre.

Finally I'm going to buy xears 200 pro ebony for 38 euro, is there any ear.in at same price but better quality? (even not xears branded).
 
Has anyone tried xears pure audio 800 pro?

You need to list the type of music you like, and your source, otherwise we don't know if you like lots of bass, balanced or bright sound.

Ok thank you, I prefer music like John Legend, Coldplay, David Guetta, Jamiroquai, some 50 cent. So I look into good bass (and I want my ears are isolated from the rest) but at the same time with good medium and high, before I had sennheiser cx 300 II, but some experts told me that xears 200 pro ebony is much better than sennheiser I used and that are perfect for my requirments. What about your opinion?
I was even considering xears pure audio 800 pro, because of the flat cable is easier to manage, but some friends told me that the best is xears 200 pro ebony (38 euro), what is your opinion?
I listen music with iphone 4.
Thank you.

I used to own CX300ii. My next purchase was SoundMAGIC E10 I was very happy with my purchase. They have won best for a budjet buy. They sound a LOT better than CX300ii. And for that reason I recommend you check them out.

Thank you, comparing soungmagic to xears 200 pro ebony, the winner is xears 200 pro ebony, so I'm looking for someone that can give me an advice on a better in ear, or if xears 200 pro ebony is the best.
However your review is really appreciated from me, you are a very good person to share your opinion compared to cx300ii.

No problem friend.

I was just reading about the XE200PRO, I think you may be right on the money with your decision.

Trident is excellent for the price, and has the sound your looking for. Also Hisound Crystal would be perfect, and they sell second hand quite cheap (I have some for sale) and they would be better than the xears I think.

have not heard XE200, but trident is good. Hisound Crystal is a whole league ahead in terms of detail and balance. Check out the reviews on Hisound crystal, then we could maybe work something out if you want them.

Frankly, I don't like xears at all. They all have annoying driver flex and the fit isn't that great - I'm not even going to comment about the lack of packaging. The Dunu headphones are pretty decent overall and probably have the best build quality I've seen in a while in sub-$100 iems but my favorite in your price range is the new Vsonic GR02 Bass edition http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vsonic-GR02-Bass-/221028473872?pt=US_Headphones&hash=item337652dc10#ht_682wt_1402 . Great sound, great build quality (I just love the cable), great amount of additional tips. I like it more than the GR06 - it's bass is better, the mids anre less foward and clearer and the highs are just right for this type of general sound signature. The only thingv in which the GR06 is better, is the instrumental posutioning and layering but the GR02's soundstage is still pretty decent. Anyway, if you liked the CX 300 II (which I consider one of the worst iems I've heard), you will be realyy happy with the new GR02, which is far superior in every aspect
