Where would you have to ship them, though, if there's a warranty problem? Likely oversees?  I'm curious about this.



Humm,  That's a good question??  Since they ship from a U.S address I guess to a U.S address??   Don't know?, I guess Lend me Ur ears could be better for that answer.

Guys, I'm actually in Canada, not the US.  Big name stuff (Klipsch, Etys, Shure, etc) I can generally find a place to try out locally, but everything else I'll likely have to ship in and it'll all take 1-2 weeks.

So look through the classifieds, unless you prefer new iems.
But I agree, it takes too long to source them from asia.

balanced armatures are what you want. PFE, A161(A151) or triplefi


Quick Note: the A161 is not the A151.  They are different models with different housings and different drivers.  A161s aren't out yet either...  A151s are a good choice that fits your needs.  PFEs will not be as they tend to either be super bright, or have a v-shape.  IDK if you'd be able to get away with the PerfectBass (PFE 0xx), but it may not suffice you.  Don't even think about the Triple-Fi 10.  If you knew of the signature specifically, just the name itself would give you a headache (since highs and lows give you headaches :p)
 
As others have said, RE0 or RE-Zeros will fit you as they are really laid back (after burn in with the proper tips; I've only heard the RE0), they do use dynamic drivers.  Another idea would be the Dunu Ares or Crius.  They both are mid-centric signatures.  The Ares rolls off highs while the Crius rolls off lows.  Both have a good amount of both.  The higher highs are pronounced in both of them though (up to around the 1.5k to 2k mark).  I really can't think of too many others with BAs or dynamics.

Thanks for the help all.  Due to some last minute budget restraints I had to pass on most of the suggestions, but comparing what people suggested to joker's IEM thread I found the Pioneer CLX60, which with foam tips fits the sound signature I wanted.
