Suggest some IEMs for casual listening

[Christian WUFU]

As the title states, I'm looking to purchase some IEMs (preferably around $100). I've been looking at the Shure SE215s, Hifiman Re400s, and Etymotic HF5s.

If anyone has any experience with any of these, or any other suggestions I'd love to know!

Also, I use my Beyerdynamic Dt770s constantly for referencing. If there are any IEMs with a similar frequency response I'd probably jump on those in a heartbeat.

For IEM`s, JH Audio for me.

Thanks, but those are a bit more than I'd like to spend on something that's solely going to be used commuting to and from work

They go Down to 400 dollars.

Quality costs something.

Thanks for the tip, but if I wanted to spend that much I wouldn't have asked around a specific price range. I'm not expecting the Ferrari of IEMs. If I felt like spending more I'd just grab a second pair of DT770s

This is one of the best places to research IEMs

I own the HF5s. It's nice, kinda flat, but with aggressive mid-highs. I had the SE315, which were also good, but with a lot more bass and less detail/highs. The MEElectronics A161 was better, at a lower price.
I also have the SE535, which is not a huge improvement over 315, so I'm selling them.

In your shoes, I'd go for the RE-400, JVC HA-FXT90, Creative Aurvana In-Ear 3, MEElectronics A161, Rock-It Sounds R-50 (my choice, based on what I researched)

In the end, I comes to personal taste more than quality itself. I think the reviews on that site will help you decide your in-ears based on the sound signature and features you're looking for!

Thanks for the link, and info!

Brainwavz B2 if you don't need a lot of low end. Make sure to buy some Comply Foam Tips for them though.
