So first of all, I'm new to this forum so excuse me for being in the wrong place. I'm also up north in Canada so prices tend to be a little bit more expensive than down south in USA (which kind of sucks). Anyway, I'm looking for a pair of IEM's to listen to music. I currently have the ATH-M50, but I'm looking for something that offers M50-like quality in an IEM package for under 150 (if possible). If it helps, I listen to mostly:
 
Avenged Sevenfold
Metallica
Iron Maiden
Black Sabbath
Linkin Park
My Chemical Romance
Led Zeppelin
Jimi Hendrix
etc.
 
You get my point.
 
Help?
 
My ideas so far:
 
Klipsch Image S4i
Sennheiser CX-300II

I've heard the M50's and if you want that sort of sound quality, regardless of what you listen to, the klipsch s4 or the senn cx300 are not going to give it to you. The cx300 are horrible sounding, and the s4 are not that far off. 
 
Better than these two considerably are the philips she3590. It's priced low and sounds great. There are definitely others out there, bassy and with a largish sound stage, balanced and articulate midrange and a controlled high range....Something like the shure se315.
