Wassup!
I need some advice/ideas from you guys.
I am currently shortlisting some IEMs to be purchased by the end of the year. The budget for the phones have not been set yet so I am opened to all sorts of IEMs except customs (too expensive sweat.gif ).

I really like bass and listen to LOADS of rock music and for me, the guitars are the most important (esp. the guitar solo parts because I'm a lead guitarist) but I also want to hear the drums and bass guitars. Not so much a fan of vocals so I might want a more musical IEM but not too sensitive because most rock albums are BADLY mastered so there might be siblance or hiss or whatever crap that can piss me off! tongue.gif

I have been doing tonnes of research and all that did was make me more confused and spoilt for choice. rclxub.gif
So I think the best way of judging/deciding on an IEM is to get feedback from users since I don't think I will get the chance to audition all my listed IEMs.

Bear in mind that the "only" genre I listen to is ROCK be it heavy metal, trash metal, nu-metal, punk rock, alternative rock, post-grunge, progressive rock or avant-garde metal.

Here is a simple list of IEMs I am considering:
1) Westone UM2 or W3 (Both get really good reviews but I am not sure if I can live with ONLY over the ear IEMs)
2) UE Super.Fi 5 Pro/EB or Triple.Fi (Quite good too but sticks out of the ear too much)
3) Atrio M5 (Very Very interesting but looks like crap)
4) Denon C710 (Nearly as good as the Atrios from what I gathered but "hard" to find here)
5) Audio Technica CKS70 (Dubbed Turbine "Killers" on Head-Fi)
6) Shures (Don't think I'll go the s(h)ure way because they lack bass)

I have included some comments into the list and they are mostly about cosmetics because I only can judge based on how it looks and based on reviews.
Therefore, any of you guys own them? If you do, please let me know how it sounds with respect to my musical preference. I would really appreciate your help.
Thanks and Cheers!

p/s: I am currently using some crappy Razer Moray IEMs because I was stupid enough to believe CNET and some jacko at Machines! vmad.gif

Walabies, I received your PM but I also just wanna ask around to make sure I buy something that's worth it because I might be pulling the trigger on a RM1000 IEM sweat.gif and I just want to make sure, thats all. By the way, I do appreciate all the help you and Yuheng are giving me at the moment.
Thanks and cheers! biggrin.gif
