I don't really have a price range; but use case would be either directly from my Nexus 5; one of my laptops (Macbook) or if I'm at my desk for whatever reason maybe plugged into my Schiit Valhalla (Worried a bit about being overly sensitive..).
 
I have fairly eclectic musical tastes (http://www.last.fm/user/womcsm), but listen to most everything but Rap or Country.
 
I was leaning toward a pair of Shure SE535s due to positive previous experience with the brand (e2c+slc4), but am open to other suggestions.  I'd rather have more low end that I can tone down if needed than the other way around, and these would be worn while moving around as much as stationary so microphonics and comfort matter..
 
Any advice welcome..

You might want to sell your Valhalla and buy a Valhalla 2 with a low/high gain switch, but the Vallhalla 2 may have a more forward sound with the new capacitors.

If you are comfortable with using the Valhalla with in-ears and not concerned with possibly destroying the speakers, then that is fine, too. I can suggest the Ortofon E-Q7 for now:

Check theheadphonelist.com for other in-ear reviews, too.

Oooh... I hadn't realized Valhalla 2 had come out; that kind of solves my quandary.  Thanks, now to see how best to upgrade..

(Followup; I picked up Shures SE846-CL, 'end game' portable for me as i'm still leery on customs.  Will use with my E17 while mobile via for now (USB OTG cable on the way); they sound great with my O2/ODAC at work.  Surprised how much hiss they pick up straight out of my Macbooks, even the air.)
