I have been thinking about getting some custom IEM's.  I would mainly be using them at work, connected to my Asus Zenbook Prime (UX31A-DB51), which has a Realtek ALC269 audio chipset.  Alternatively, I would be listening with my HTC One M8 phone or very rarely on my home PC, which has a Soundblaster ZxR going to a Schiit Asgard 2.  I know the Zenbook is not exactly a good source, so I am not opposed to using something like an Audioquest Dragonfly, if need be.  I was hoping to keep the price around $250-$300, but I know this is very low for CIEM's, so I am not opposed to spending a tad more if it is justifiable .  I enjoy mellow music with bass heavy tracks, so I would like something with a ton of bass, if possible.  Here is a YouTube playlist I compiled of some of my favorite songs to give you an idea of what I listen to (please don't judge me lol):  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi4A16r0KdVFr-uikUZbEXV-Qv4WLLDVx
 
Would you guys be able to suggest some CIEM's that would lend themselves to my criteria?
 
Thanks!

The only CIEMs I can think of in that price range are the Custom Art Music One (from Poland), the InEarz and the Perfect Seal.

I'm not sure it is worth the cost and effort to go custom if you only have a budget of $300. I might rather have a $300 universal. The 1964Ears V2 is $400.
