Well i want to buy some iem for less than $100 (dollars).
I listen to rock (Pink Floyd, Aerosmith) and sometimes coldplay or david guetta. i use an iphone 4 as player and i use m4a 256kbs.

i read about the shure SE215, seems to be a good iem. i can get them by $105 but the K version, on the other side i can buy some grado igi. i've tested them . great sound but the bass is horrible_ there's no basses.

i need help. i can't pay more than $100 dollars.

pd. i can buy some used yamaha eph-100 for $80 dollars, i dont know. hope you help me and sorry for my english, bye

I'm not sure about the EPH-100, but out of the two I'd go with the SE215. The SE215 doesn't have emphasized treble like a typical Grado though, but you can hear the bass.

Ear size plays a role. I had trouble with Yamaha due to size of nozzle, too big for me. Regarding your preference to hear some bass, go with SE-215 for this and a good chance to obtain a nice fit that isolates well - nozzle is not too large and you get three sizes of tips; both in foam and silicone. Know that SE-215 are designed for over-ear wearing.

The mid sounds are better on the grado"s or on the shure"s ?? I know that grado is the king of high tones. Brainwavz=basses . Which is shure specialisation? Thanks

Mids.
 
Though bass is pretty thunderous. Listening to Disc Wars on Tron Legacy soundtrack right now.
