I'm looking for a good value IEM and welcome your recommendations. If I could get my hands on an IMR R2 Red, I wouldn't need any feedback.
If I can spend $175 on something that "sounds like $250" that's fine with me. Probably normal. I have the KZ ZS10 Pro, which are "great for the price." Now I want something that is still great for the price but a step up in quality and performance for times when I'm away from my home equipment.
Criteria:
Sorting through options (without a chance to hear them) is the hard part. And, if there was something really special at $300...maybe I'd make that investment.
Current shortlist (no order):

Criteria:
- A little more fun/forward than laid back
- Skew to the bass end a bit...but just a bit
- Good detail and clarity; perform well with high resolution sources
