My cans broke a couple hours ago and I really need headphones for a 10 hour bus ride on Monday morning. I was thinking about getting IEM's but was unsure about what kind I should get. I like to listen to a lot of trance, hardstyle, and classical music on my P2. I was thinking about getting Hippo VBs, but I don't know where to buy them. Are there any good or decent IEMs that I can get for roughly $120 CAD that I can just pick up in a store in Vancouver, BC, Canada?

londondrugs have the Klipsch S4 for $89.99CAD+tax

Klipsch S4 is probably your best option for both in store and your budget. I'm still trying to break mine in (just got them today), but they sound pretty good so far.

The S4 are a good choice. Another would be the Head Direct RE0s ($79), they're supposed to have quick shipping (I can't vouch for that yet though).

 

[mythless]

RE0 is shipped from China for Canadians, it will take 2 weeks. I've just went out and bought myself a pair of S4, the sale ends today. So, hurry and make your move.

 

[semisight]

Alright then definitely get the S4.

I have an odd sensation that I think the OP will not be getting the S4, anything you can get at futureshop, bestbuy or even buy the S4 at it's original price, 129.99

If there is a bestbuy in Vancouver, trying the S4 may not be a bad idea. They have a great return policy - if you don't like them, they will take them back in the first 30 days, even if the IEMs are already used.

what bout amazon? it should be a great place to buy also.

 

[mythless]

amazon is slow

UE4's or Shure SE210's at Futureshop. The 210's are on sale for $99

Or S4's at London Drugs.

They are all in the same ball park in terms of price.

Thanks for the suggestions

I've narrowed my choices down to the S4's and the SE210's. Which ones would be the best to listen to trance, hardstyle, and classical music with and which one would be more durable? Also, I read on the forums that tips can make a difference with the quality. Which tips should I go for?

I haven't heard the SE210's, but from what I've read, the S4's might be better. Can't confirm this, but look into it. As for tips, I use Shure black foam (olives) tips. They provide a nice fit, they're pretty comfortable, and they seem to be very durable.

the s4 are definitely smaller, IIRC when I was at londondrugs
