Looking for a good IEM that is a good compromise between SQ, Call Quality, and Cost.
 
I am not a bass-head and prefer good clean accurate sound (which does include bass just not exaggerated)
 
I want them to have decent call quality, which means people can hear me clearly and I can hear them clearly.
 
I don't want to spend more than I have to and definitely less than $200.00
 
After reading a bunch of reviews I came up with a bit of a short list.
 
 
[size=medium]Ultimate Ears 600vi [/size] [size=medium]$60.00 [/size]
[size=medium]Phiaton PS 210i[/size] [size=medium]$80.00 [/size]
[size=medium]MEElectronics A161P [/size] [size=medium]$82.00 [/size]
[size=medium]Ultimate Ears SuperFi 5vi[/size] [size=medium]$90.00 [/size]
[size=medium]Thinksound TS02 + mic[/size] [size=medium]$91.00 [/size]
[size=medium]Audiofly 56 Series[/size] [size=medium]$91.00 [/size]
[size=medium]Denon AH-C560R [/size] [size=medium]$99.00 [/size]
[size=medium]Etymotic HF2 (Cobalt)[/size] [size=medium]$105.00 [/size]
[size=medium]Rock It Sounds R-50M[/size] [size=medium]$126.00 [/size]
[size=medium]ClarityOne™EarBuds[/size] [size=medium]$129.00 [/size]
[size=medium]Shure SE215 + Mic [/size] [size=medium]$149.00 [/size]
[size=medium]Phonak Audéo PFE + Mic 122[/size] [size=medium]$176.00 [/size]
[size=medium]RBH EP2[/size] [size=medium]$179.00 [/size]
 
 
I could be completely wrong with this list, so if you think I have missed THE ONE please let me know.
 
I am leaning towards the 600vi at the ridiculously low price of $60.00; but then there maybe a reason they are cheap but the reviews are generally very positive.
 
I also find the HF2's at $105.00 compelling from the reviews that I read and the price is $50.00 less than anything I have seen.
 
Anyway, your comments are very welcome since it appears that many of you have actually listened to zillions of IEM.s
 
Thanks in advance...
