IEM recommendation

Hi, 

 

I'm looking for recommendations on a pair of IEMs and if need be, something like a FiiO E11. My overall budget is around $300. 

 

After doing some research, I'm considering the Westone W2 but I'm sure there are better options out there.

Sadly, a lot of the stuff I see recommended in threads is not available in Europe, so please use amazon.co.uk as a reference. 

 

Also, which android music player would you recommend i use? The default one is shit. 

 

Thanks in advance,

Reeckz

Klipsch X10/X10i and X11i are really nice. I love my X10's.

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

i use android winamp.

 

http://www.acscustom.com/uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=98&Itemid=78 check this out, since you've a 300 dollar budget.

I can't find anything on there that's remotely close to my $300 budget. What did you have in mind? 

 

Don't need an amp for IEM's 

Etymotic ER-4PT, don't bother with Shures, since their high end models are satan.

Thanks, these look really nice, I never really considered shures in the first place, they seem kinda flat and boring.

Treble is trouble, or is it razor blades? I can't remember and I don't want too. Bass response also left town along with my girlfriend.

Anything razor puts out is trouble really. I never liked any of their products, had a Deathadder, was replace within a week. Felt like it was made of the same plastic my kid brothers G.I. Joe. 

 

Anyways, I don't think those will do the job, I'll be using these for the gym as well. And a few reviews mention moving a lot will cause the cable to cause some low-end noise, which I'm not really a fan of. =/
