Hello,
 
As summer is approaching, the bulky large headphones are getting increasingly hot in my neck during the day. So I came down to decide that I may need a pair of IEMs.
 
So here: I listen mostly to Japanese (and some British) female vocals, classicals, and some Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton. I prefer a pair of relatively bass-neutral IEMs with decent details and instrument separations. Anything falling under 200 dollars is considered. And a mic for android phone is optimal. Currently I am looking at AKR 01 and RE400.
 
Edit: wrong submissions.

To my ears the akr 01 is your best bet is far superior to the hifiman option you considered the cable is much more consistent and the sound is simply better.
