Hi guys I have been using Yuins pk3 and really enjoyed them. But as I am on the go a lot now, I need a sound isolating earphone so I've come across these two earphones that are around the same price of $90
 Shure SE215 and Klipsch S4i 2nd generation
I like to listen to vocal, mids, highs and good soundstage (I'm a noob so I don't really know my terms but I think those help) and some bass
Which earphone is better for me?

I can't help you with the Shure's but I've been using the Klipsch S4/S4i's for over 2 years now and they have clean, crisp sound and great isolation while being the most comfortable pair of buds I've ever worn. They provide decent bass, nothing crazy, and the soundstage is respectable.
 
I switched to Nocs NS400 after my Klipsch's died after a year and a half and immediately returned them to buy another pair of klipsch. Can't recommend them enough.

Do the klipsch require burn in time?

Have a look at this very informative comparison thread:

I recommend the Vsonic GR07Mk2 or for a bit more bass the GR07BE

Wow the Vsonic GR07 is pretty impressive. However, I don't think I'll be spending over $90 so maybe the Vsonic GR06 is a good choice?

I'm not sure if GR06 is just 1 step lower than GR07. This site is selling the GR07 for US$130 with free shipping:

Or maybe you can wait a while more for a holiday/christmas sale.
 
The Astrotec IEMs and HisoundAudio BA100 are also well reviewed and are less than US$100
