Sadly, I've lost my Ortofon e-Q5s that I discovered on Head-Fi. On the bright side, I now have an excuse to shop for new IEMs!
 
I've been finding that my polarized musical taste means that I have to sacrifice one genre for the other, but maybe you can help me to find a pair that works well for both. Android-compatible buttons are a plus but not necessary.
 
So far I've narrowed the selection to:
- Fischer Audio DBA-02 ($200)
- Etymotics HF3 ($150)
- DUNU DN-1000 ($200)
- RHA MA750i ($130)
- VSONIC GR07 ($100)
 
I'm open to any other suggestions you might like to throw at me as well.
 
Thanks!

Klipsch X10 has a pretty nice bass response and speed witch is good for electronic, and has a reasonable price. See if you have a opportunity to listen it.

Thanks, I'll definitely check out the X10s if I get a chance.
 
Out of the ones listed, which ones would be best for the type of music I'm listening to?

The Ety HF5 won't have enough bass for electronic, at least for me it would feel almost bassless for that genre. The Dunu DN-K has quite a bit more bass, and I've enjoyed it with some music that's st least fairly electronic in nature, but it might not have enough bass for you.

As far as acoustic goes, both of those sound good, although I'd personally lean towards the Dunu.

I haven't gotten a chance to hear the other 3.

Hmm, interesting. How does the DUNU DN-1000 compare to the DN-2000? I'm leaning in that direction, I think.

If you do have a POWERFUL source and can EQ bass a bit - you could add Havi B3 Pro 1 ( Old Version ) to that list. They have their own thread on HF.

I've never even heard of the Havi B3 Pro1 until you mentioned it. Definitely taking a look at them. And they're ridiculously priced!

I think I'm changing my mind again - leaning toward the RHA MA 750i. How does it compare to the DN-1000s?

Or the TDK BA-200. Decisions, decisions!

So I went to a local brick and mortar store and tried the MA750is today and I was really impressed. I tried the Fostex TE-05s too which I liked but I felt like the treble wasn't nearly as clear as the MA750is. Sadly, though, I ran into fit issues with the MA750is. The over-the-ear cable kept on interfering with my glasses and I couldn't get a proper seal in my right ear, it kept on feeling like it was going to fall out. So I might have to pass on the MA750is.
