It's about time I spent some more money so can anyone who's heard the M100 recommend an IEM with a similar sound?

For anyone who has not heard the M100 this is how I perceive their sound:

Bass - powerful, extended, fast, quite prominent.
Mids - clear, spacious (for a closed design) neither forward nor recessed (some will disagree)!
High - extended, clear, spacious, not sibilant, slightly forward.

You might call it a V shaped signature but very well executed.

Budget up to £150 ($250). Preferably with remote but not essential.

My Sony XBA-2ip seem a bit lethargic and my Ety ER6i do not have the bass extension (otherwise they would be ideal).

Hmmm not many people heard the m100 then!

Ok let's try another way :wink: given the sound signature I like in my first post which of these would you pick and why?

Hifiman RE400
Klipsch X10i
Klipsch X7i
RHA MA750i
Shure SE215
Yamaha EPH100

Feel free to suggest any other I might have missed (preferably available in the UK).

Have you obtained any success? I'm also very interested in this question, since the only listening experience I have is with M-100s which I love. On my current list I also have the Shure and Yamaha.

Given your budget, you could very well look into RHA T20, Sennheiser IE80 and Sony XBA-A3.
