As the title says, I'm looking for IEMs with a neutral, or as close to neutral, sound signature. The IEMs must NOT go around the ear like the Shure and Westone IEMs (forgot the term for this). The price must be >$100 but I'm willing to increase it a bit depending on the situation. 

I've looked into:
HiFiMan RE-400 - I live in Canada and currently, Amazon has it for $109 which I feel is too expensive. I've had the pair before, bought for $49 which at the time was a steal so you can see why I'd feel $109 is too expensive. 

Shozy Zero - My current choice.

I haven't been able to find other IEMs under these categories but I want to keep exploring my options. I appreciate any help!

I heard the Philips fidelio s2 is more Netural then the re400

There $50-100 used

Have you seen this list?

Each of the reviews describes whether or not it has to be worn over ear.

Thanks, I'll look into that.

I've seen the list and i've consulted it already. I haven't been keeping up with new IEMs in the recent years so I figured I'm probably missing a few IEMs with these requirements. Thanks for the advice, though!

SoundMAGIC E80, got my pair from Amazon Canada for $80, they are a tiny bit more now. Loved them very much and I had to go into the ~$300 bracket to find an upgrade.

I find The Headphone List's recommendation list to be much more accessible than the sprawling multi-iem comparison thread (both run by ljokerl). Based on your requirements, I'd say keep a look out for the Fiio EX1, which is a rebranded Dunu Titan 1, and the VSonic GR07 Bass Edition (used), which are both pretty neutral. The GR07 BE is usually worn over-ear, but I wear mine straight down without any issues.
