Lately, I've been looking for something more portable than AT M40x's... mostly at IEMs. My budget is around $100. I listen to mostly 80's stuff and rock, and I really value clarity in my music. However, I'm not a big fan of having to put the cable over your ear, and a remote would be nice too. Any suggestions?

So far, I've found:

-Sennny Momentum In Ears $99
-Dunnu Titan 1 $99
- with the dunnu's im wondering if it's the exact same thing as the fiio ex1's. They look the same and the fiio version is $30 cheaper. Also, these are currently #2 in IEMs on head fi, and they aren't really in ear. How bad is the sound leak, and is the sound really that good even without a true seal? Or do they fall out all the time?
-1More Triple Drivers $99
-these seem to be pretty popular, but are they really that good? Some say it's not very clear? Or are these really the best for $100?
-Hifiman re 400 $79
-apparently these are super clear and clean.... but no bass?

So are there any I have missed, and which is the best for $100? I'd really love to hear it, cuz I'm having a really hard time deciding, they are all praised so much it's hard to gauge which is actually the best.

I would add the Beyerdynamic Byron to your list. Detailed, extended on both ends. Really good. You might read about it. Lastly, there is the SoundMAGIC E10 and E50--both excellent. I think the 1More is really outstanding. Yes, it really is that good, IMO. The RE-400 has some quality control issues. I like the Momentum and the Dunu.
