EVENING CHAPS, NOOB HERE!
So, would you say the v moda m80 or sennheiser HD25-1 ii is good for pop/rock/jpop/jrock with techno sounds? Higher emphasis on vocals, instrumentals/treble, the techno sounds with a bit off bass but warm at the same time?
Sorry for the total noobery, answer greatly appreciated.
The HD-25-1 might be a bit sharp in the treble for JPop, JRock. Vocals on the M-80s are smoother, warmer, generally better for pop. The HD-25-1 are slightly more aggressive and more fun for rock though. Any examples of the J-pop/J-rock that you're going for? Supercell, Perfume, Visual-Kei stuff, Pillows, m-flo, Tokyo Jihen?

Good in-ears for £100-£150?
Last year I bought a pair of Denon earphones, they were in ear and cost £140 from HMV. I loved them earphones until the cable snapped while I was asleep (god knows how that happened) and I returned them to HMV, they said they had no more Denon earphones so they had to give me some earphones of the same price, I thought that was fair enough until I realised these earphones were Dre Beats Tour earphones. Having no other choice I tried out the earphones and i've just had my 3rd pair stop working on me (the right side has stopped working).
I use earphones only to walk around with, to and from college etc, and the Denons were fine for that, but the huge cable of the Beats made it the biggest pain ever. The cable would tug against my clothes constantly, which pulled the earphones out slightly, and its hard enough to get a good fit out of these earphones in the first place.
After my 3rd pair had stopped working, instead of taking these back i'm just going to bite the bullet and realise that these earphones will haunt me forever until I get some new ones, does anyone know any good in ear monitors for around £100-£150 that are good?
I'd very much like some with a light cable, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

The cables on the Tours are flat and unruly. So pretty much most other IEMs at that price would have better cables. Any idea on sound preferences/musical genres?

Hi I;m looking for advice on some IEM's. I'm a guitarist who is building a wired IEM to monitor my vocals and guitar. I need something fairly flat in the midrange to lower treble and no sibilance, the bass is not important. I will have some shelving bass and treble eq available on the board. I've been through some of the review pages and now have a big headache
Price is $ 60 to $150 Any help would be grand...
HF5s are good for monitoring. Flat sound throughout the spectrum, maybe a slight tinge of treble emphasis. GR07, SE215, might be worth looking into as well, but probably won't be as flat as the Etys.

@twinQY I looked into the reviews on various sites on the Phiaton PS 210 BTNC and they definitely seem like the way to go. Basically, my priority was Wireless headphones with the best sound quality, Bluetooth or Kleer. I looked into the Sennheiser MX W1 and some Sleek-Audio ones, which have Kleer technology, but I guess since they're kinda old now its tough to find them anywhere online. However, if you were to recommend an IEM and a bluetooth adapter, which ones would you recommend specifically?
At that price, you could get stuff like the GR01, GR07, ER4P, MTPC, W2, most of the mid-level IEMs are available at your price. Sound will generally be better than a dedicated bluetooth headset, since most of the money's going to SQ and build. Any of those would do well for your genres, just depends on the sound signature that you want.

Need a great IEM for EDM (Trance/Eurodance). Will be using it in conjunction with my iPhone5 (no amp) for my commute to work.
Budget is ~$125
Thanks
FXT90 or the FXD80. Both JVCs sound stupendous with techno. No amp needed. If you can find the XBA-3 on sale again, go for that. Nice, full-bodied sound, great performer.
