Hi,


I've been looking for what In-Ear headphones to purchase for a while now, and I've unfortunately/fortunately fallen deep into the matrix of long-winding research that has only succeeded in getting me more confused and indecisive (yay). I would be glad to get recommendations from you guys, as Head-fi seems to have lots of knowledgeable members.

I listen to a wide range of music, but predominantly rap/hip-hop these days, "epic" music like Two Step from Hell's work, some rock (Disturbed). EDM, classical, some RnB, some indie (so basically, a wide range). Giving those and my proclivity for Rap/Hip-Hop, I tend to lean more towards earphones with great vocals and rich, powerful bass; however, I really am just searching for earphones which deliver great quality all-round and might even rival the most expensive earphones to people who aren't extremely particular/picky. I also like a good, stylish form factor, but I definitely wouldn't put it over superior quality
 
My research has brought me to these IEMs. I would like to hear your opinions on which of these are the best, and would also be glad to get additional recommendations. Thanks.

They are:

Shure SE215 Limited Edition Blue
Yamaha EPH-100
Audio Technica IM50/IM70 (what's the difference between these please?)
KEF M200
Vsonic GR 07 Bass Edition
JVC FXZ-200

Thanks. Any more opinions? Bump...


If you have already read a lot about those different IEMs on Head-Fi, best to go with your instincts over what some poll tells you. It's not like you'll get a good sample of people who have heard all of those. People will vote for what they own. And what they like will be tempered to their listening tastes.

Thanks. Yep, I totally have that in mind so I'm definitely not going 100% by the polls. I'm happy I did this though, because it exposed me to some new IEMs and helped me cross out some of the inferior ones.
