Hi there. I would like to upgrade a bit from my Audio Technica CKM55. They are fantastic, awesome bass, clear sound at all ranges. But I, well, I would like to try something new, if you know what I mean

So, are there any good basshead IEMs for about 100€? Some of my spots:
Shure SE215
Sony MH1C
Sony XBA-2 (50€)
Sony XBA-3 (95€)
Rock It R-50
Beyerdynamic DTX 101
Anyone any suggestions? Or experiences with above-named IEMs? All I want from the new IEMs is to be (a bit) better than my CKM55s

If you want something bass emphasised better look for Shure SE215 Special/Limited Edition. They are nearly extict though. You need to look a little around to find them.

Well, the SE215 SE is pretty hard to find. Even the standard SE215 is only in one shop in Slovakia...
I would really like to try those XBA-2's, their price (50€) is really nice but I noticed one thing - they got ASYMMETRICAL cable! The only thing I cant stand. And as they are dual-driver, it won't be easy to recable them.
 
Anyone experiences with Beyerdynamic DTX 101?

I know an ebay seller which still sells geniune SE215 SE. We bought 3 pairs from him with my friends and I guess he still has couple more pairs. He ships from Hong Kong and item has the seal of official Shure dealer of Hong Kong. If you want the link just PM me.

Try these, they are highly rated:

  • Vsonic GR07BE
  • Hifiman RE-400
  • T-Peos H100
  • HisoundAudio E212

TDK BA200 looks good but it's hard to find, has flat cable and is a bit more expensive (+/- 150€)
Vsonic GR07BE is fantastic, I heard it, still a bit expensive but definitely will think about it
About the Hifiman RE-400 I have heard a lot of praise, but I dont think so they will be bassy enough for me. 
T-Peos H100 are totally unknown for me, they are a bit expensive too but I like they design and accesories, will read about them.
HisoundAudio E212 is on the way for review.

I got the E212 for review also. I love it.
 
You can get the H100 from [size=medium]http://mellowworksstudio.com[/size] for less than €100 (cheaper than Rockit R50), I got them from lendmeyourears for SGD$5 more and still waiting for them. Shipping to your country is only SGD$5.
 
 
€1 Euro = SGD$1.69
 
I chose H100 because it can be worn cable down, the first certified 'Golden Ear' IEM, has both a BA and a dynamic driver (Hybrid) and it is recommended higher than GR07 by Clieos. Now I wish I got the H200. Has replaceable cables, 3 years warranty and 3 drivers. The H100 has a 2 year warranty
