Hi everyone!.
 
Googling I found this site and spend hours on it.. amazing!.. thanks to everyone for the post and threads.
 
I need a "in-ear monitor" for my motorcycle travels.
 
I'm using a cheap Philips SHE3575 (cheap in USA, here in Uruguay cost me 30 dolars!!).
 
Right now, I have a friend in USA who could buy me and bring me one, so I need to decide which one.
 
The only requisite is that the model should be without the "stick" where the cable begin.. I don't know the correct name..
 
This is because I use with a motorcycle helmet, and the stick injure my ear (because of the helmet design)...
 
THIS type it's the one I need
 
THIS type it's the one I DIDN'T want
 
I usually listen to electronic music (house, minimal, techno), so I love the bass!.
 
Any recommendation?
 
I'm watching this models (i really didn't know the differences):
 

1. Sony XBA-1 Balanced Armature Headphones-1 Driver
2. Sony MDRXB60EX/GLD Extra Bass
3. Sony MDREX40LP (cheap, I have this one before the philips)

 
Why Sony?.. because I don't know any other brand, but I dont know 
 
Thanks a lot!!!

Within your recommendations, the Sony XBA-1 isnt really suited if you love bass. Mids and highs are gret on the XBA-1, but ive had better bass IEM's before. The MDRXB60 is a good choice. These are my favorite buds when it comes to bass, and the sound stage and seperation in these monitors are great for the price.
 
Although my recommendations are:
 
Klipsch s4 (one of the best IEM that can be placed into any type of genre).
 
 
I'm not really skilled in IEM's, i mostly excell when it comes to headphones but since i believe that you trust philips, here's a couple from their brand.
 
Philips SHE8000 (great for the price)
Philips St. Germain
Philips O'Neill The Tread.

The XBA-1 is like kissing your sister

I've recommended this one to several people here on HF.
Soundmagic E10.
 
Great bass and clarity for it's price!
Should be around $30~$40.

Yep, definitely the Soundmagic E10s, you can get the E10Ms which give you controls for phones and a mic. The earpieces are nice and small so they comfortably fit under a helmet

For electronic music you can consider jvc ha-fx40.

Try to find the Green House GH-ERC-DMS, it's the best value balanced-armature in-ear monitor around.
 
 
If that's a hassle and you want Sony, I heard the Sony MDR-EX310 is excellent.
 
 
Vsonic GR06 is another favorite which you can find on ebay and you won't regret.

Thanks a lot to everyone!.
 
I take a day to read about all your's recommendations.
 
I decide that the SOUNDMAGIC E10 it's the best for my needs (price vs sound).
 
Some reviews, recomend using a differente eartip, like this one Comply Tsx-400 Comfort PLUS Earphone Tips
 
What do you think?..
 
Thanks a lot!.
