I got some RE2s a few months ago, and so far I'm definitely satisfied with them. I love the sound quality, especially, since I listen predominantly to metal, how it will make my music more percussive, being able to really hear the scratch of a pick on guitar strings.
But now after a few months use I want an upgrade; my dad has some broken pairs of Shure SE310s (a car door got closed on the tip of one of them and it snapped completely off
), and I like the sound quality of the one of those, but I haven't really gotten a good enough listen to them (or a listen with multiple buds) to really decide.
Something that is absolutely necessary with the new IEMs I get is that they have to be compatible with the iPhone, be it through an adapter that comes with the phones or just how the standard jack that fits in.
A quality I'd really like is more bass than the RE2s. Not that I want bass to be the main feature over the rest of the sound, but definitely more noticeable than the RE2s. I want my music to sound heavier, but not lose the trebly scratching that I currently have. In fact, if there are any buds that can boost the percussive qualities of the guitar more while doing this then I'd love some of them.
Just being picky, but I'd like the phones to come with some foam tips, double flanges, and/or triple flanges. I don't know of my dad's Shure's coming with anything except for the single flange I've heard, but I definitely prefer the doubles/triples to singles in comfort.
My budget is around $200-$250 (ie, SE310s on soundearphones.com)
