Looking for new in-ear headphones

I'm in search of new in-ear headphones since I still haven't found those that has the perfect balance for trance. I currently own Monster Beats by Dr. Dre, Klipsch S4i and Sennheiser CX400 G4M3 (think they're called that).

Any good suggestions? Price range up to like $200.

Get an equalizer instead of wasting money on headphones.

"Monster Beats by Dr. Dre" goes in the same category as Bose: way overpriced for their "quality"

Some might believe in that, but I don't. In the end I bought Etymotic HF5 which has good review all over the internet, and they werent' so pricy either.

Buy B&W in-ear. If B&W aren't good enough, then there's something wrong with you.

No B&W is pure shit! Buy Custom made in-ears the only thing matter if you'r looking for good sound.

Btw i use Shure SE535, fully acceptable for what they are.

Can wear these. They hurt my ears. Even the softest ones.

Well speaking of their in-ear. Ok they don't suck but i don't think they are the tops out there, there are problably better alternatives out there.

Check out Head-hifi.org if you wanna know good in-ears.

That chart is quite old, from 2009.

That's not old for headphones (my Koss headphone is almost 20 years old.)

I don't think progress is that spectacular.

Cheap EP-630 still get sold and are out there for many years meanwhile.

Yea of course but there's quite a few more new models released since that chart was published. I think there is a updated one somwhere in the forums, will have a look for it..

I went for the Etymotic HF5, will get them in a few days so I will give you guys my review of it.

Posted by LostMySelf on Oct-12-2011 15:11:

Okay so I've gotten them and all I can say is: WOW!!!!

Incredible sound and the bass is very well balanced compared to the shitty Monster Beats by Dr. Dre where the bass almost makes me puke when listening to any music except dubstep.

I don't know what to say since I'm not good with details, but all I can say is that I've never had such clear music running through my ears before, I can hear all the elements and enjoy the music as it's supposed to.
