Hey guys,
 
I'm in the market for some new IEM's and I figured i'd ask around in these forum to get the help of my knowledgeable peers in choosing some good ones :)
 
I'm currently using some cheap ones that came with my phone (Samsung Galaxy S series) as my old Shure SE210 no longer work, so needless to say the sound is not great.
 
These IEMs would primarily be used to listen to music on my phone. I listen to a lot of different types of music but mostly hip hop / rap, rock and some electronic music (Daft Punk and such).
 
As far as budget goes i'm looking at the $350 range but I might go the extra mile and add a hundred dollars to that if needed for something fantastic. Currently i was thinking of something in the range of Westone 3, Sennheiser ie8 and such. Maybe even 4 driver IEMs if they are truly something else.
 
In terms of preference I guess i like a balanced sound with a large sound stage, something dynamic with a decent amount of bass. It also needs to have a good seal for noise isolation as i take the subway quite often (I found my SE210 to be great for that)
 
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

I was in your position not to long ago. I ended up buying the IE8s and I have no regrets what so ever. I am a big bass head and these IEM can produce the bass that I require from my music. I listen to a lot of trance and house music. The sound stage like what many other reviewers say is large! But its lacking on the isolation =\.
