So I'm in need of some new IEMs!  My budget is around £60, and from the couple of threads I've read so far seems there's some great value options available compared to when I bought the Customs (July last year).  I really want another pair of IEMs because earbuds just fall out when I'm riding my bike (the creative EP-630's for example).
 
I mainly listen to hip hop and trance so bass is paramount, this is an area where the custom 1's excelled.  So far I've considered the Etymotic mc5's and the Klipsch s4's?  But are the S4's buds or IEMs?  Anyway I'd love your input, gonna read through a few more threads for ideas, cheers

was also checking out this guide but I don't know if it's been updated.... I'm sure there's an abundance of new offerings not listed there.
 
EDIT:
 
Just been reading through this guide, currently liking the Hippo VB's.

Seems I can't get the VB's in the UK.  Leaning towards the S4's.  My question is do they go deep into your ear like the custom series or do they just sit in like the senheissers CX 300's for example?
 
Thanks

hmm you think the custom 1 excelled in bass?
 
i was going to say the PL-50 but im not sure where you are coming from an the bass front.

After they burned in the bass was good, used with a fiio e5 and fuze (no EQ).  I've had the PL-30's before and was thoroughly unimpressed no bass and they wouldn't stay in my ears.
 
I think I've made up my mind and am gonna go with the klipsch S4's.
