Hello guys, first post here so bear with me.
 
I'm in the market for a new pair of IEMs and having bought several...every time i get dissapointed. First of all, i'm upgrading from a pair of Sony  MDR - EX 10 which i bought for 20 dollars i think a while back. Since then i bought a Seinheisser HD 428 headset...and found the sound to be quite "boring", mostly the bass. I also bought several other cheap IEM, mostly in the 30-50 dollars range and every single time i would come back to my Sonys.
 
After doing quite a bit of research here i narowed it down to a couple IEM's that looks nice to me, but i'd like expert advice from you guys so i don't throw my money for nothing.
 
I listen to a vast array of musical genres btw, mostly dubstep, dance and some old school rock, and often watch movies/games on my mobile devices.
 
Heres my top choices so far:
 
-Shure Se 215
-Klipsch Image s4
-Steel Series Flux Pro (gaming IEMs...i know)
 
I'm open to suggestions of course and have a budget of around 100$ but could go up to 150$ if really needed.
 
Thank you for helping me make a sound choice, i'm very tired of wasting money on ****ty buds.

Out of your choice, SE215 is the most solid by a long shot. What kind of sound do you want? There might be better options...

Not sure how to describe my sound...hut I like somme good bass while not overpowering. And importantly a good sound stage. And im all for reccomendations

In that case, SE215 sounds pretty good, at least the best I can think of right now.

I bought my brand new IE8s a couple of weeks ago for $120 and that was here in the UK where things are far more expensive than they are in the US. I'd guess you can find a set for $100 where you are.

Wow. That's a good price. I'd go for IE8 if you can find one for that price.
