Hello !
My IEM, Shure SE210 just passed out recently and now, I'm looking for a new pair of earphones.
I want a pair that has decent comfort with good isolation and sounds. I mainly listen to progressive rock (King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Camel...) and listen to some trance (Markus Schulz, Cosmic Gate...).
I have a budget of about 300$ (I live in Canada, so earphones cost a bit more). As for now, I'm hesitating between Shure SE425 and Grado GR8. Are one of these two good for my criteria ? Also, are they worth it for their price or shall I look in some other model ?
 
Thank you !

Vinc,
We all purchase radius from Japanese dealer Musicaacoustics.com
To order from this Japanese dealer you should send an order via email.
No one is selling Radius in USA or Canada besides ALO AUDIO. . I recall they use to have a stock of DDM at ALO,.  You can contact them and inquire.
 
 
 
But DDM does not have good isolation. Ortofon e-Q7 does. e-Q7 is considered a much better IEM then Radius. I like them both but DDM is not suitable for too much outdoor use.
e-Q7 is good for either outdoors or indoors.
 
Hope this helps

You could get a used triplefi, which can be found for around $200
