Hello!
 

Here are the IEMs I have narrowed it down to:

 

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-IE60-Ear-Canal-Phones/dp/B005N8W23C/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1458937219&sr=8-1&keywords=in+60+sennheiser

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-M2IEi-Momentum-Headphones-iPhone/dp/B00MYYFSBQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1458937237&sr=8-3&keywords=Momentums

http://www.amazon.co.uk/DN-Titan5-Titanium-Diaphragm-Earphones-Defined-x/dp/B0186UZR76/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1458937274&sr=8-1&keywords=TItan+5

http://www.amazon.co.uk/RHA-T10i-isolating--ear-microphone/dp/B00OY2T9U2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1458937283&sr=8-1&keywords=t10I

 

I did think about the IE 80s, but it's out of my budget. I don't want to risk getting a fake. I have never used anything other than entry level IEMs, so I'm having real trouble deciding.

 

I would highly appreciate it, if you could guys could help me out. As you probably know a lot more about IEMs than I do.

 

Thank you!

The only thing i can advise is try a lot of them. Everyone prefers an other style of sound.

Yes, I did a bit of research into them, and I just want to explore the higher end options. Because I won't get another pair for years.

So let me get this straight , 

According to your last post , You said that you just came off from a pair of apple pods and wanted an upgrade, Hence why i have suggested you the e10's because what hi fi said that if you are looking for a upgrade from the pods , Go for the e10's . 

And now you are looking into a higher end price category than you originally started.

Witch leads me to this : Do even  actually have any money ?  Its nice to dream about obtaining a sweet ass cans or IEM's but lets be real here.

My advice , Start small , That's what i ( almost )  did. Explore good cheap alternatives and then go big. you cant step on a big stone without stepping on a small one, ID you know what i mean.

I don't see the point of purchasing the E10s, with me knowing that I'll upgrade in the future. Might as well just purchase ones now that I'll have for years, otherwise the E10s would be a waste of money.

Ok ok , Chill , Its your money and i have done enough questioning about on how you should spend your money.

BUT ,

Why IEM's ? I mean you could get some sweet over ear headphones with the price that you are aiming for.

I can do some diggin on some brands if you would like ?

I will also be using them for running, so I would prefer IEMs I think.

Is there a possibility of you squeezing 20 quid more ?

Maybe, depends if it'll be worth the extra.

Thank you, I've never seen them before. I'll do some research into them. At the moment, I'm leaning to the IE 60s. But that isn't set in stone.

What do you think of the NuForce 750M and 800M?

 

Do you think they'll be better than the IE 60s?

I am in the brink of giving up. I have recommended about 5 to 6 IEMs and still you dont even consider my suggestions. This is my final batch that i will come up with and last batch of recomended IEM's that ill come uo with to you. And here is a advice and a question :

Why , Why do you want to spend more ?  The logic of '' If i spend more , they will last more '' wont apply to every single thing. At times , the budget category can last you even more than the ones that are expensive. 

If this batch of headphones wont satisfy you then YOYO ( Your on your own ) .

I have considered your recommendations, but while researching them I came across the NuForces. I was just wanting to know if you heard of them or what you think of them. Just because I wanted your opinion on a pair that I've found, doesn't mean I don't appreciate or consider your suggestions.
