Hi, not really new here as I have been reading the forums for a couple of years. Mostly Cowon D2 stuff but my questions have always been answered in other posts.

Now my Crossroads Mylar X3's are starting to fall to bits so it is time for a new set of IEMs. I never found them completely comfortable and they tend to wiggle loose and then the sound quality drops. I have taken to wearing them over the ear to reduce line noise.

I listen to a wide range of music -Jazz, Rock, heavier rock, dance (hard house) and some classical.

Things in my price range (Australian prices and dollars) are:
Shure SE110 $129
Shure SE210 $169
Audio Technica ATH-CKm70 $169
HeadDirect RE0$139.00
KlipschCusomt 1$159
KlipschCustom 2$187.35
KOSS KEB79 $189
Sennheiser CX550 Style II $154
Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 3 $119
Ultimate EarsSuper.Fi 4$149
V Moda Vibe $150

I was leaning towards the Shure SE210 as they are over the ear models. Then I saw that the Klipsch Cusomt 2's have dual drivers though...so any input for or against the above IEM's would be great, thanks!

HeadDirect RE0 is now 99 bucks. I have one coming, so I can't comment on the sound yet.

the RE0. Easily. Lower end Shure = very disappointing. You can wear any canalphone over-the-ear and actually helps with microphonics.

Thanks for the responses.

I see that people recommend using an amp with the HeadDirect RE0's. Is an amp a must as I don't want to have to use one.

Amp is not a must, but it is a plus.

U can denied a free amp right? RE0 purchase comes with free Fiio E3
