I am far from what is considered to be an audiophile. However, I do enjoy the music I listen to to sound the best it can inside of my budget. (don't we all). Also, I am a research-a-holic and am driving myself insane trying to make a decision.

My everyday on-ears are V-Moda M80s. I love these things and want to find something as close to the sound stage as these as possible in an IEM.

I recently purchased and received a pair of Denon AH-c300s. I love the sound and the cable. I greatly dislike the size, fit and volume control operation. So, needless to say, they are being returned.

Here are my requirements:
-Price: < $150
-In-line mic and three-button control for use with iPhone
-A very sturdy/tangle free cable with minimal microphonics (the cable on the C300 is probably one of the best I have seen/felt)
-Good bass response (I listen to mostly hip-hop, classic rock and indie-rock)
-something not too bulky and looks good

Those are my main requirements. Would appreciate a well balanced spectrum with clear mids and highs as well as good vocal clarity.

Hopefully that isn't too much to ask!

Any recommendations are greatly appreciated and respected!!
