Hello fellow headfiers, after an extensive research on the forum, I can't recommend myself a good dynamic IEM up to US$100 that sounds flat, or near flat. It can be a tad bass heavy but without sacrificing mids and highs.
 
Now, my only choice is the Hifiman RE-400, which I read good reviews about.
 
Any other recomendations? (No, the EPH-100 is not on my list, since it has a bit of recessed highs, too much bass and replacement tips cannot be found to buy).
 
Also, I don't like balanced armature IEMs.
 
Currently I own the Etymotic MC5, which I dislike because of the boxy bass and harsh/gritty treble.
 
Thank you for your help!

You maybe want to look into Vsonics iems, as they produce some good with dynamic driver. Especially the Gr07 is recommended quite often.

I'll look into them. Thanks.

How about the Shure SE215? The bass might be a bit too punchy for you - but it is much flatter than most of the typical V-shaped dynamic driver IEMs being marketed to the bass-heads.

Thanks Billy, I tried the SE215 once and found it too bass heavy. Not for me.

I'll have to decide today, so I think I'll give the HiFiMan RE-400 a chance.
