I'm considering the Shure SE315 or possibly the Sennheiser ie80 iems. I really like the lows and these are a must have, however if possible I wouldn't like to cut out too many of the highs. My price range is about $170 USD and the cables must be replaceable.

You're NOT looking for headphones as your title suggest, you're looking for IEM's. Not an expert on IEM's or cans (headphones) but are you more focused on bass, or would you rather have a more balanced kind of sound....that is, some bass boost with good level of mids and highs? Where will you be ordering the IEM, Amazon?

The IE80s are ~$250 which is significantly over your budget. Are you willing to stretch to that amount or strictly <$200?

As has been previously stated, your stated budget is way off of what the IE80 actually sells for. Also, if you want good lows, the Shure SE315 is absolutely the opposite of what you want. What even made you consider it in the first place?

More lows, the ie80s were about 178 when I looked at them last.probanky be purchasing from Amazon, best buy, newegg, etc. I would prefer to keep it <$200.
