Budget - AUD$100 or less (Some room for extra price)
Source - Samsung Galaxy S7, School MacBook Air 13 (****ty dac)
Requirements for Isolation - Will be using on public transport (buses), travelling and noisy classrooms, however provided I cannot hear them over the music it doesn't bother me.
Preferred Type of Headphone - Looking for a pair of IEMs which I can leave in my pocket (in a case) throughout the day and pull out when I need.
Preferred tonal balance - Looking for something with a warm/bassy signature
Past headphones - Sennheiser MM30i, MM70s (both good sound signatures (balanced, slightly punchy base, didn't like the poor durability) Desktop pick (for gaming) ATH-M50x
Preferred Music - I listen to Electronic in multiple forms (Chillout, trance, occasional house, drum & bass, The Glitch Mob, Deadmau5, Pendulum) and some pop. Will also add that I often use them for listening to podcasts (primarily male voices), though it's hard for an expensive pair to make podcasts sound bad.
Location - I'm shopping from Australia so look at StaticIce or ShopBot if you really need price comparisons. Otherwise, most of the stores shown there are kinda untrustworthy so just provide Amazon pricing if that's easier.
Further, have been looking at the SE215s from Shure but I'd want to buy an inline control and microphone. My mate has been, 'persistently' recommending the Sennheiser Momentum In-Ears which, to my ears at least, feel overpoweringly bass driven. Any advice is appreciated, I will ensure to get some time to listen to his for an extended period in order to understand the sound signature before I commit to the idea.
I've already received advice from Reddit but I wanted to get a second opinion. I'd kinda prefer something that I can get under $100 but if I can find something that will work longer term (1.5+ years) then I'd be happy to spend extra money. The recommendations I've received so far are the above mentioned recommendation from my mate and that of people from r/Headphones on reddit (Shure SE215, RHA MA750 and 1More Triples).
Thanks!
