Soup. Just registered, been reading for a while though ;D

I need some new IEMs. I'll just list the factors that are important to me:

- Price <80. Preferably under $50.
- SMALL housing. A perfect 10/10 would completely disappear in my ear.
- Not black. I'm looking for some white IEMs or even colored ones.
- Sturdy, but also flexible cable that can be wrapped around the mp3 player if needed. I'll be wearing them in school and while walking around..you know what I'm talking about. w/e
- decent isolation
- warm sound stage, bass is fine, as long as it's not overly bloated.
- in-line mic is always a plus, but not needed.

With that being said, I did find a couple of IEMs that would fit my criteria, but all of them have at least one big turn-off...

white Q-jays = too expensive
dblogic EP-100 = only available via amazon. (All I have is paypal)
Etymotic Er6(i) = bad cable
Klipsch S4 = bad cable, stick out too much.

I own a pair of Meelec M9s for comparison's sake.

maybe the meelec cc51

Was gonna say the same thing. The ceramic white CC51s should be pretty good for what you are looking for.

Another vote for meelec CC51, and you can choose the CC51P to have an in-line mic.

Not sure if you're still watching this thread, but you could also go for the PL50.  It's a dark blue, and practically disappears when you put them in properly.

The cabling on the er-6 is not bad. There are worse, such as the cabling on the q-JAYS. The latter is noisier and heavy due to the split cable design.
