Hey I'm looking a pair of durable IEM around $100 to $150 for my friend. He listen to electronic music and hard rock, so I'm going to good bass with nice mids. Here's my thought process so far.

 

Shure SE215 - eveyone likes them so why not, and a replaceable cable for 100? heck ya.

 

RHA MA750i - look at that connecter, its like the one from ATH-M50

 

HIFIMAN-RE-400 - other friend owns a pair and saids the value is amazing

 

Yamaha EPH-100SL- saw some good reviews on amazon other I don't know anything about it.

 

if you have other suggestions tell me :D

Only other suggestion I could give are the VSonic GR06s. Big accessory list and only around $60 on eBay and Lendmeurears. They have a warm sound signature, so less emphasis on the treble but they're still very detailed and have an amazing soundstage for IEMs and the price.

ya, the GR06 are great but I don't think the bass is strong enough

EPH-100 out of those I would say.
