Long time reader...
I have been looking for the past 3 yrs, I guess a certain sound reproduction signature.
I am looking for a set that I can hear hi hats crisp and clear, I wanna feel tom toms and bass drums...I want a wide soundstage.  My main focus is jazz and blues, flamenco and metal, classical...but Seal is my favorite artist.  I like the occasional dub and house/trance/..but ...I listen to vast arrays of music, from: Alter Bridge, Esperanza Spalding, Harry Connick Jr., Seal, Metallica, Joe Pass, Coltrane, Sade, Maxwell, Motley Crue, Faure, Paco de Lucia, Ravel, Miles...Art Blakey, Steve Vai, Satriani, Yo-Yo Ma, Lenny Kravitz, yada yada...
 
I know it's pretty diverse...I've provided a list below of all the IEM's I've purchased the past 3 years.  Honestly, the VSonic GR07 MK2 were my favorite along with the Yamaha EPH-100SL...
 

IEMs I've had:

Logitech Ultimate Ears 700 

thinksound ms01-gunchoc ms01 
Thinksound Rain 9mm High Definition Passive Noise Isolating Wooden Headphone
Shure SE215-CL Live Sound Monitor ...almost perfect...keeps treble under thumb...
R-50 In-Ear Monitor Balanced Armature. excellent for jazz and classical
ClarityOne EB110 
Yamaha EPH-100SL ...Best for Rock/Metal
Bose IE2 Audio Headphones...overrated
Audio-Technica ATH-CKS77BK 
VSonic GR07 MK2 Pro Dynamic Noise Isolation Earphones: Best/Widest range of music
Klipsch Image X10 Noise-Isolating ...overrated
TTPOD T1E 
Audio-Technica ATH-IM70...Holy Crap...ATH M50 in your ear...great low bass, no bleeding, no oomph to percussion
Brainwavz S5
TTPOD T2...it's not about the bass... :)
SONY MDR-XB90EX: Most fun overall
 Sony EX310
 
Headphones:
Sony MDR-V700DJ, V-MODA Crossfade LP2, BD 770, Ultrasone Pro 550, 750, ATH M50

Wow,
I guess my thread sucks...LOL
I'm tired of trying on my own, I need other people's opinions.
