i agree with jeremypsp... the SE215 are overrated. For <$90, it's not bad, but if OP can stretch his budget a little, he can get other, much better options. The bass on the SE215, to me, is splashy and uncontrolled, while not really giving satisfactory impact, which is why I'd like to go back to one of my original suggestions --- the Future Sonics atrio m5 with MG7 transducer!
I can say with absolute certainty that the bass is top-tier, bar none, and its mids and highs are very good as well; it's just that it's tuned with a bit of a V-shaped response. OP isn't going to mind that. So you get top-tier SQ, coupled with a very robust plastic housing, and thick, comfortable cables. The only caveat, really, is that the design looks like a blast from the past to the early 90s. It's affordable, too. Even though the MSRP is $200, it regularly sells for under $160, and you can even find retailers that sell for $140 pretty often. Just a few weeks ago, there was a 50% off sale for them!
I've really been looking into the Mg7s, and I must say that I am pretty convinced that for IEMs in their price range they are far and away the best. the only thing that I am not sure of is the comfort/seal/tips. I've never worn my buds with the cable over ear. is that something you easily get used to? should i already buy some of the suggested tips (tri-flan monsters with tip adaptors) or wait and see if the stock tips satisfy me? also, where are these crazy sales?? i can barely find reviews on these things outside of head-fi (even the only decent reviews on amazon are from head-fi peeps).
