I have found both on sale for £26 and £21 respectively and wondered if anyone could tell me which is best suited for my needs. I've read a lot about the MEElectronics and I like what I've read (good isolation, good build quality, good comfort and very little microphonics) but I'm not sure how well they'd match my primary genres (see title), on the other hand I've seen next to nothing about the Sonys except for that they're comfortable so I know even less about those.

Thanks for any help.

I had the m11+ and loved it.  It was very very comfortable, and the only thing near metal I listened to on them was Pantera and NIN, which it did a really good job with to my ears.  They are pretty bassy though, but I found it fun.

I've heard that... I'm kind of worried about buying them and finding everything overwhelmed by bass, that's why I'm not sure if they'd work for me.

Oh, and if anyone would like to offer a better IEM in the same price range then feel free to do so, I'm open to suggestions.
 
Thanks again.

I'd go for the  Radiopaq Jazz assuming you're in the UK. Should be able to find them for less and they're definitely more balanced tham M11s but still far from bass-light.

I read your review in the 'Multi-IEM Review' thread and liked what you said about their sound, but I have particularly small ears (I generally have to use the smallest tips that come with my headphones) and you said they're quite bulky and hard to get a good fit with so I don't really know if they'd be very good for me, you also mentioned that they can be painful and I have pretty sensitive ears (I used to get really bad ear infections as a kid, fortunately it didn't impair my hearing). I can up my budget to £35 ($55~) if it will get me something really good but I'd rather spend under £30 (just under $50) since I don't get a lot of use out of IEMs aside from traveling on the bus and such.

I'd try to get my hands on a pair of Brainwavz M2 if I were you. Excellent metal IEMs with a warm and fun sound. Cheap too! Check out the reviews here on Head-Fi. I'm sure you'll love them.

ah i as going to say Jazz but if you want tiny then for fit you cant beat the tiny M11+ but bare in mind they are really bassy.  id sooner take the M6

I've used the M11+ with Metal very succesfully. The basses may result a tiny bit overemphasized for Metal, but that's a matter of taste. I like the M11+ for Metal *a lot*. They make you fell the music, that's for sure.
 
For Post-Hardcore, I'm lost. I don't know anything about that genre, sorry 

 I'm sure someone in the forum will be able to help you in that regard
