Not sure which one to get. I have had two pairs of the re-400s and they're great but the build quality sucks. The heaven ii's look like a good choice but how bad is the cable noise? I like to wear IEMs down (not cable around ear) and I am worried that it would be too bad. I had a pair of HF5's and thought the cable noise was a bit too much. Don't know too much about the klipsch headphones and I'm not a big fan of the over the ear design of the se215 but it does have the great build quality that I would like. Also, the re-400s are only $60 right now.
Any recommendations?

Have you ruled out Westone IEMs?  They would have the same issue as the se215 with needing to wrap them behind the ear, but the twisted cable produces almost no cable noise.  I have the UM3Xs which you can now get decently cheap compared to what they used to sell for and they have served me well for over 5 years now.
