Sub $80 USD IEMs

Hi LTT,

I'm looking at buying some sub $80 (USD) IEMs to finally upgrade from my Apple EarPods.  I'm not a basshead by any stretch but I do enjoy being able to hear it in my music, my tastes range from classical and soft jazz to rock and pop.  Any suggestions?  I'm currently looking at the NuForce BE6i's on Massdrop (MSRP $125 for $90) although I  would prefer to spend a little less than that, however the apparent quality of that pair seems to merit the extra $10 over my budget.  Any other suggestions or opinions on those headphones would be greatly appreciated as I really have no experience to speak of in audio.

These are insanely good, even for $50 IEMs.

Don't talk about stale memes.

I'm not too up on the iem market now.

right now I'm focusing on full size and speakers
