Waiting for D2 to arrive, but have no clue what iem's to consider. I'm in Canada so that certainly limits my options and I do not want to spend $200+ for iem's. Any recommendations?

How much do you want to spend and what kind of music do you listen to?

Living in Canada doesn't limit your options if you're buying online, particular from the sales forums on this site. Buying new, especially from brick and mortar stores, is a fine way to spend more money than you have to.

I would say mostly Dance, Hip-hop, Rock and Pop

I've been using UE SF5 pros with my D2 with the impedance adaptor, and its areally good combo.

ER-4Ps are the best IEMs I've heard for under $200 easily, though I'm itching to try Q-Jays.

I imagine either would work well with the D2 given its diverse EQ choices.

There is something magical about Shure IEMs with the D2. I loved my Etymotic ER-6is, BUT they were cold and analytical. Imagine putting cold analytical IEMs with the D2, which is tends to the cold and analytical side itself. Not a pretty picture and SQ will be very disappointing. I have not heard the ER-4P or ER-4S, but if they have the classic Ety sound signature, I think you will be disappointed mating them with the D2.

The UE SF5 was on my short list of IEMs and is worthy of consideration. Another idea is to try high end ear buds. I have the Yuin PK3s ($49)which are very fun with the D2 and Classic Rock. I just purchased a pair of Yuin PK2s ($79) and just finished listening to part of the Brandenberg Concertos. Frankly, I'm always blown away by the amazing SQ that comes from these little ear buds. The Yuins mate with the D2 very well indeed. Try Head-Direct.com if interested in the Yuin lineup.

Enjoy the new D2 when it arrives!

Or consider the best Shure model that your price can afford.

I use the Shure E500's and it's awesome with the D2.

My friend let me try his Shure SE210's and they sounded good too, although it was in a gym environment.

Future Sonics Atrio m5, they have the deepest bass you'll ever find. Beat the crap out of my SF 5 pros in all other areas, to the point where I don't even use the SF5-pros anymore. I got them brand new for cheaper than I did for new SF 5 pros. Works beautifully with my D2 .

The D2 is colder sounding than the 3-gen iPod Nano?

I reckon its the other way around. I sold my nano to get the D2 because I just wasn't happy with the sound quality (not itunes).
