i have also read plenty of good things about the XBA-1. i haven't heard the Klipsch earphones, however my impression from the reviews is that they are very bass heavy, while the XBA-1 is very neutral sounding with plenty of detail. Since you love the V6, you are probably looking for a netral earphone with plenty of detail, so the XBA-1 seems like a good choice. How much is the XBA-1 in Mexico? I have been waiting for the price of the XBA-1 to drop, however so far it isn't really being discounted. At around $50 I would buy it. At around $80 where it is now, I think I'll wait.
 
Are you sure you want something with isolation for use on the go? IEMs or isolating headphone are good to use while on busses, trains or planes, but can be very dangerous to use when you need to hear your surroundings, such as when you are crossing traffic intersections. When walking where there is traffic, I use traditional style earbuds which don't isolate and keep the volume low. Perhaps it may be a good idea to get both traditional earbuds or an open headphone, and an IEM.

here in mexico the xba 1 are around 70 dls. im also leaning toward the sonys.

anyone else?

Try the VSonic GR06.  I'm sure those are mentioned in his review of I think the count is either 236 or 238 at the moment.  Just look up |joker|.

Personally I think Westone UM1 will be a nice choice for this price range, the sound is more neutral and plus, it is really comfortable for wearing. Another choice i suggested is UE700, it sounds pretty good, too.

id go with the sony xba 1 out of those choices

You can get the xba-1 for 690 pesos (like 50 bucks) in sears, its the lowest price I have found, currently I am using some sony mdr ex310, they sound ok but the arent a match for my hje 900, too bad that the cable its broken.

xba1 definitely.   Very clear and non fatigue sound.
