If you tend to listen to music while exercising, the SMS audio in ear wired / wireless sport is unrivaled. On the other hand, if you're looking for pure sound quality and are willing to pay a slightly higher price, go with the beyerdynamic idx 160 ie's or the sennheiser in-ear momentum's.

Budget? NuForce ne-600x. I got mine on massdrop for $8. Not at all accurate, but pleasant for music.

No matter what other earbuds I buy/try, I keep returning to Panasonic RP-HJE125E (or anything similar, I thik I had 120 etc). 125 doean't have mic. Of course, I don't buy anything too expensive, ~$30 is my limit, since all earphones tend to die quite fast on me, even though I'm quite careful with all of them. Anyhow, still haven't found anything better. You can easily find many, many people thinking the same.

EDIT: or ignore my post since your budget is way above that. 

The ability to google properly is a skill of its own.

Hi I'm thinking of upgrading my current set of earbuds and I'm not too sure what to get.

I listen to bands like Mayday Parade, Coldplay, Panic at the Disco, All Time Low and some edm.

My budget is around the price of Shure SE215 and Sennheiser Momentum In ears

I was thinking about getting the SE215s but ended up going with a pair of Vsonic's GR07s. My mom ended up washing them, but I loved them so much that I bought another pair, only to find out after a few days of drying the washed pair were actually fine! 

 

They're AMAZING for noise cancellation, really helps when studying and I can easily fall asleep with them in. They come with like 4 sets of earbuds so they'll most likely fit you, and are around the SE215 range I think too. 

 

Can't say a lot about the sound other than they don't have a Ton of bass, but it is enough for me and I generally listen to Hardcore or metal. Some songs that do have bass it is definitely enough, though. I 100% recommend them but they're the only audiophile IEMs I've used, so kinda biased ;p

I'm currently looking at the Shure SE215, Sennheiser momentum in ears and the Klipsch r6i. Which do you guys recommend. 

depends on how you want your sounds to sound. Look up frequence response for them all, because their you can see how much bass,mids and highs they have.

Before you buy amp and dac.  My thoughts on the M50x  Ultimate Ears Reference monitor review I might have a thing for audio...

My main Headphones and IEMs:  K612 pro, HD 25 and Ultimate Ears Reference Monitor, HD 580 with HD 600 grills

DAC and AMP: RME ADI 2 DAC

Speakers: Genelec 8040, System Audio SA205

Receiver: Denon AVR-1612

Desktop: R7 1700, GTX 1080  RX 580 8GB and other stuff

Laptop: ThinkPad P50: i7 6820HQ, M2000M. ThinkPad T420s: i7 2640M, NVS 4200M

Well that is kinda hard for another person to say because every person has their own preference, when it comes to how sound should sound. Some people likes more bass while other people wants less bass. I know that the shure 215 is the once with most bass in the shure in ear line up.

I like clarity of sound and voice, but a bass that's fairly high but not overpowering So what do you recommend?
