Hi All,
 
I stumbled across head-fi.org a little while ago when I decided on purchasing a new pair of earphones. 
 
Looking at the threads i've found the choice of earphones overwhelming and I was hoping you guys could advise me on a pair of earphones. Unfortunately I won't have the opportunity to try before I buy so your views are important.
 
My music taste vary, however what i'm looking for a pair of earphones that provide clarity, crisp vocals, detail between the mids and the highs a good but not overwhelming bass response.   I will be using the earphones with my iPhone 4s on my journey to and from work and in the gym so build quality is important. 
 
I've included a couple of links below which should give you an idea of the tracks I will be listening to:

My budget is £350. 
 
I look forward to hearing from you guys.

Youd have better luck posting this in the joker thread  http://www.head-fi.org/t/478568/multi-iem-review-254-iems-compared-philips-oneill-tread-klipsch-s3-added-09-19-12.  Might be worth looking at the heir audio threads as well
 
Good luck

The description of what you are looking for sounds just like the Etymotic house sound.  The HF5 would be a great choice and fit your budget easily.  The top of the range Ety, the ER4 is uncompromising in accurate musical reproduction and you can hear every detail in the music -- I love mine.  With a modest amount of EQ, both the HF5 or ER4 will give a satisfying amount of bass response.
