Hey all, I'm trying to come to a decision on my next pair of IEM's and I was hoping to get a bit of help. I barely have a clue about all off this but I've done some searching on the board and I've narrowed it down to:

Altec Lansing UHP606 Backbeat Pro $34
Maximo iM-590 $42
NuForce NE-7M $49

I mostly listen to hip-hop and rock if that helps any. Also, I may be doing a bit of weight lifting in these since I hate how over-ear headphones feel when I'm working out. Like I said, I'm completely new to all of this stuff so any help/recommendations would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.

Nuforce has more bass than the maximo, but both are good. Maximo is better for rock.

All three of those are very good choices. I personally like the Maximos better overall, due to fit-and-finish, and just great all-around sound. Cheap, too, according to your prices.

Thanks all, I think I'm going to go with the Maximos
