Hello, I'm very interested in getting a pair of good earphones or IEMS for portable use and some home use(not great home gear but it beats my portable system). I use some cheap earphones and the px100 right now. I love the tight bass of the px100 but hate that the highs are so hard to hear :<. I'm looking for a pair of earphones/IEMs that are #1 detailed, #2 neutral #3 under 200 dollars #4 don't need an amp to sound good

cm7ti
e888
panasonic 70s
er6i

Which one's do you guys recommend out of those and what am I missing? those are the one's i'm most interested so far. btw, I'm not interested in the er4p/4s or shures.

Why are you not bothered about Shures?

If you're talking about under $200 dollars, there are a few more options:

Westone UM1
Ultimate Ears super.fi 3 or 5pro

Out of the four you've mentioned, the 6i really stands out though you may find them a bit bass shy ( I don't btw, but I listen to a lot of jazz & classical). In my headphone lineup they're competing with some pretty good cans and holding their own extremely well which annoys me to no end. Six months ago I chose the E3 over these and and while the Shure's were fine I've found prefer the Ety's. The smile says it all!
