so I've been looking for an iem for under 100 bucks for quite a while now. i am using this for a back up and when i am in my bed listening to music or watching movies on a tablet and maybe for commuting. the reason i am doing this is because i dont like having a big bulk on my head when i am lying on my bed and so that i can move my head sideways...
 
currently, i got my eyes on the Meelectronics A151, TDK EB950, Meelec M-Duo, JBL j33. Im listening to all kinds of genre. And my preferred sound signature is warm+sweet (i got this from Clieos - from inearmatters.net). 
 
what i like for the looks of an iem:
1. should be wear over the ear. kinda like the Meelec M6
2. have a Y-split.
3. maybe a flat cable? or an untangled one
 
what i like for the performance of an iem: 
1. warm+sweet sound signature (a little more bass is good)
2. good isolation
3. good soundstage
4. airy  
5, good build quality
 
 
So which of these iem would be perfect for me?

Just go a little higher and get the TDK BA200 at about $129. It is over the ear, Y-split, flat tangle-free cable, warm+sweet, excellent isolation, excellent sound stage, airy, fairly well built, and very detailed.

about that... TDK BA200 is not available on my local store. the only available is BA100 but they said that eb950 is better than ba100 so i'd better pick up the eb950s...
 
but the problem with the eb950s is that i dont like the way they look. and they are open so they will leak an amount of sound.
is sound leakage huge with these? 
 
Meelectronics A151, TDK EB950, Meelec M-Duo, JBL j33
and how do these iem compare to each other?
 
 
 
also, i cant exceed 100 dollars. i pretty like the BA200 though.

Import it. And do exceed 100 dollars. It's worth it. The other IEMs you're mentioning don't come close at all.

im just a student and i dont have a credit card. and my mom wouldnt let me use her credit card to spend that much for a pair of iems. so i cant buy online and ship it to my country. 
 
and if i spend over 100 dollars for an iem, would it last for about, let say 10 years for example? 
lets assume that ill handle them with Tender Loving Care...

How important is Airy for you? If it's not really important, than the Shure SE215 is nice for $99.
