Hi guys, just wonderin' here. I seem to notice that most of the IEMs have low impedances, some as low as 8 ohms. I was wonderin' if there are IEMs at the other spectrum, with high impedance, like 150 ohms and above.
What are some good high impedance IEMs?

Thanks @EagleWings
but I can't find the specs for the Spiral Ear SE5-Way Ultimate on its website or on head fi. Can you point me in the right direction?
On a different topic, wow, the price of this iem. Wow.

Yea, that info is not on their website. I learnt it here on Head-Fi in the SE-5 Way Reference thread:

Earsonics Velvets also has around 30-40Ohm impedance.

Etymotic Research ER-4S (out of production): 100 Ohms

@EagleWings I appreciate the info. Thanks for the knowledge, dude.
 
@HiFiChris I just went to the Etymotic website and it seems that they still produce the ER-4S and it does have 100 ohm Resistance and 90 dB sensitivity. Just the info I was looking for. Thanks a lot, man!

Anybody else with some input?

RHA just made two high impedance models known as the cl750 (link) and the Cl1 ceramic (link). Both ring in at 150ohms.

Thanks for the info @PL4Y3R 0N3 Much appreciated.
