The past couple years I have been able to pick up on sound quality way more and I need to get something good.
I've been using $30 sonys or the apple earbuds but the apple earbuds aren't great and the sonys are fine, but they break within a month.
I want something with a solid balance. I don't want the bass drowning out the mid and high.
I want them to last a while. Preferably 2 years or so.
I listen to a wide range of music, mostly blues and classic rock, but I like to listen to edm sometimes.
Noise canceling is pretty important and I would like to be able to lay down or sleep with them in.
I was looking at the Shure SE215 or RHA 750. Is there anything that would be better?
Thanks for your help
Drew

The SE215s, have great isolation, but they don't have a neutral sound signature, they are quite bass oriented. The Etymotic HF5s are a great pair or clear and detailed IEMs with great isolation, if you can stretch the budget an extra $30 they would definitely be worth it.

I just got the MEElectronics m6 pro. They are awesome. Really enjoying them. While they aren't noise canceling, they kill just about all outside noise with the right fitting.

They seem really nice, but most people have trouble getting them to fit. I live in Canada and they are about $170 so if they didn't fit well It would be even more. I won't get the shures though. Thank you

The RHA 750s were really high up on the list. Would they be a good buy? They're about 140 here but they come with so many tips that I won't have to but more.

I might get the m6 pros. They are dirt cheap for what you get. I've been having trouble with my phone doing weird things with headphones, so having 2 different cords is great. Thank you.

My vote goes to Vsonic GR07 Classic over the RHA MA750 and I do own both.  Something about female vocalists just sounds off to me on the RHA.
 
Edited to also mention the GR07 BE, if your interested in the MA750's bass tilt, as it was designed to increase the sub-bass on the GR07.

NOCS NS500. My go-to IEMs.

I've had several pairs of shures, but my current favorites are the klipsch x-10. Great sound and incredibly small and comfortable.

Why not go for the Soundmagic E10S? Or if you want to spend even less, the Soundmagic ES18S? I have the ES18 and love it. The E10 is said to sound very similar to the ES18, however the E10 has metal enclosures, while those on the ES18 are plastic.The models ending in S include a mic and remote control for a phone.

K3003 looks cool for me

That one is a little beyond the stated price my friend... by an extra zero

Can anyone tell me what ''I'' means in the list.

 

[SomeWiseGuy]

Can you tell me what ''I'' means in the list.

i means whether an IEM has a inline mic (for accepting calls) and remote (for volume control).
