those reviewed here (except for the ATH which i am not familliar with) are great budget earphones. the only thing about choosing is comfort, sound preference, and of course, $

in justice for IM716(which is the most far from the average price of those units reviewed), IM716 comes with very good isolation, sound signature is generally accepted (unlike the ksc75 which is like grado, hate or love it) and its a quite comfortable IEM.

my 2cents.

offtopic : i got my im716 at 300+

edit: typos
