Need some IEM suggestions

[miggs78]

Hello people..
 
I'm looking to get some a pair of IEM around the $100 mark. I've basically broken it down to a few of them. I'm from Canada, so I might be either purchasing it locally here or from earphonesolutions.com as they offer cheap shipping down here.
 
Shure SE215 - Seen a lot of impressions around here.
Klipsch Image S4 - Seen a lot of reviews claiming they are good. I have used the Panasonic headphones with the oval eartips and they are super comfy, hence the pick for Klipsch
Bose IEM2 - This is I've seen some reviews, but haven't researched a great deal...
Etymotic MC3
Meelectronic A151
 
Like I mentioned I may order from earphonesolutions.com, so if there a pair of headphones that you suggest from there, below the $100 mark, please go ahead. Thank you

It would probably be most beneficial if you could disclose your choice of music selection and what you're looking for in an IEM

Good idea.. totally forgot...
 
So I listen to Rock (mostly soft), techno/trance/house, disco, pop, remixes... stuff that has beats, so bass for sure.. I know both the Shure and Klipsch have amazing comfort.

Klipsch S4 has a muddy sound, the bass overpower everything else. Shure SE215 sounds much more better to me.

I would first figure out what kind of sound signature you prefer and then search for IEMs in that price range for that particular sound signature.  For information/descriptions of different sound signatures try this link:

Scroll down a little bit and you'll see a description of each: Analytical, Balanced, Bass, Mid, etc

For your preferences, I would look into both the SE215 and Phonak Perfect Bass 012. Both are great IEMs from what I hear. If you have any questions for me regarding the Perfect Bass (I haven't gotten to listen to the SE225, I've only heard food things though), I would be glad to answer your questions.
