I'm looking to buy an IEM, but I currently don't have enough to shell out for a decent amp. I was wondering what the best choice would be for under $200. Thanks

What kind of music do you listen to?

er-4p

 

[Hyperbole]

I listen to mostly trance and some IDM

Seconded.

super.fi 5 pro as well from me.... The bass is just a little more 'forward' - at the expense of the lower mids.... and they're reasonably priced as well...

 

[Radzique]

super.fi 5 pro, or you should try to buy used UM2 for 220 usd

Yep, this is coming down to an ER4P vs Superfi5. Apples versus oranges.

SF5 is the best IEM under $200 IMHO, but I like its fun sound (read bass and impact).

You can find them NIB from people here for $150 most of the time. Early generations were weak and their case cracked them - so lots of people get them replaced from UE and decide to sell them to pay for upgraditis.

If you prefer you music in a car or home with a decent subwoofer, you will want the SF.5

They aren't really my type of headphones, but for your listing habbits, the Ultimate Ears Super fi.5 pro is the best bet. It has the best bass impact of all the sub $200 IEMs, and it won't distort the highs.
