So I just got the new FiiO X5 and I reallly love this player! I feel like im not getting all out of it though with just my Klipsch X7i's. I want to upgrade and get a good IEM that pairs well with the FiiO X5. Im not to sure how to search for this so this is why I am making a post here. Hopefully some of you will have listened to the X5 with a variety of IEMs. I mainly listen to electronic/rock/hiphop/jazz stuff. Just a wide variety of stuff.
 
So far I have a few I am looking at:
-HEIR Audio 3Ai / 3AiS
-HEIR Audio 4Ai / 4AiS (maybe. A bit pricey)
-Shure SE425
-Westone UM 2
 
If you have tested any of these with the X5 please let me know how you felt they paired together. If you have any other suggestions please let me know as well.
 
Thanks!

So I ended up going with the Westone 4R's. I got them really cheap for $325. I will update this post on how they sound when I get them.
