Hi
I'm looking to upgrade from my SE102s, I really like them but they're just a little bit short on bass. I used CX300s for ages before and I like a bit of bass. I listen to mostly guitar based music, with a lot of twee/indiepop and a lot of shoegaze/jangle/noise. Not the techno sort of stuff that usually requires deep bass but enough to keep my music in check.
What I liked about Shure SE102
-Felt fairly well built.
-Went right into the ears, which was a plus.
-Sound quality sounded fine to me.
-Didn't stick out of my ears like mad.
-The 'cable over the ears' way of fitting.
What I didn't like
-Bass a little bit weak, in comparison to other IEMs I own.
The problem is, I'm limited to Apple's store, HMV and Richer Sounds. I'm in Liverpool, UK. Unless there are any places I've not thought, those are really my only options. A couple of other electrical stores are about like Comet and Curry's but they're not much use.
iPod Headphones - Apple Store (U.K.)

Those two are the main places I have to shop from.
Apple IEMs - £54
Shure SE110s - £80
Ultimate Ears super.fi 4 - £98
Shure SE210s - £100
Sennheiser IE6 - £118
Ultimate Ears super.fi 5 - £127
q-Jays - £138
Ultimate Ears super.fi 5 Extended Bass - £148
Denon AH-C751 - £148
Sennheiser IE7 - £167
Ultimate Ears super.fi 5 Pro - £176
Is there much difference beteen the normal super.fis and the pro editions?
Which of these has the best balance of price increase from £100 and quality of sound for the music I listen to?
I'm leaning towards the SE210s or the s.f5s. Which is the best option, considering the £30 gap?
Which pair should I go for out of all of them?
