I have been enjoying my B&W P5's for about 4 months now. I find the sound that comes out of them to be almost perfect for my music. In fact, they are my main choice for when I'm on the go.   However, due to a little problem I have with wearing them while running, I need new IEMs.
 
I have a couple decent pairs of IEMs from a few years ago but none of them even come close.
 
Suggestions in the 150 - 250 range?

Shure SE315 (around £140)

I was very pleased with the 315, good all rounder, and an excellent, isolating seal. You will get better extension on either end of the frequency range with the SE535, but it's over double the price (usually about £330-340).

from my brief time with the P5 id say the IE7.

 

[MrNodi]

Good suggestion, or the IE 8, or IE 8i (if you want in-line iPhone control like the p5's).

Is there much difference between the sound signature of the IE7 & IE8?

 

[mark2410]

yes there is rather a lot of difference between the 7 and 8, they really are quite different.  the 7 is bassy and middy, the 8 is bassy and trebly with much dryer mids.
 
the 7 is close to the P5 the 8 isnt really.

 

[MrNodi]

In that case, disregard my comment about the IE8's!

I have tried P5 before, if you want to find something close, go check out this review by our member, http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/554949/spider-realvoice-iphone-ipad-in-ears-pleasant-surprise, it would probably fit you requirement
