Hey,
   I was looking for a pair of introductory IEMs or Earbuds that have decent treble (as the title says). For the most part, I've
used Skull Candy ink'd which I haven't been disappointed with; however, I want to take a step up.
 
Most of the time I would be using them either through a cellphone, iPod 5th Gen (with RockBox), or directly into a computer.
So I would need to have some level of durability.
 
I'd like something that doesn't require an amplifier and isn't too heavy in bass (beats..) while not sounding like a like a tin can.
 
That all being said, I have done some research and read one of the lists here and am looking at a pair JVC HAFX40B.
 
 
What I'd like to know:
1) Is there a pair that might suite me better
2) Is there anything I should be aware of that might discourage me from this pair?
 
 
Hopefully the following list might help.
 
Music Listened To
Punk
Tango
Visual Kei (Moi Dix Mois, Malice Mizer)
Neo-classical metal
Breathy Vocalists (Tori Amos, Chino Moreno, Polly Scattergood)
Cha-Cha
Classical
 
Music Format
Ogg-Vorbis
Wav
 
Let me know if there is any other information that I can provide.

That was a lot of information, but I'd rather have too much documentation than too little. Thank you very much.
 
Looking at the reviews between the JVC HAFX-40B and the ViSang R02 I'll go with the ViSang.
 
Hopefully I can report back soon with a pleasant experience.
