looking for some iem or ear canals, budget around 4xx, already own a bijou and im716 planning to get sumthing different, was considering between jays d-jays & the new sony ex-500sl. Before saying sony is crap, i did try them briefly and found them to be rather decent, but i am not too sure about the d-jays.

Was also considering westone-um1 but how does it hold up in terms of sq with im716.

Listening to all kinds of music from ballads to trance, but not looking for one earphone to play them all. Thanks

i think you won't go wrong with bijou, you can also try the new sony mdr ex-300 which is rather highly rated in japanese forums at your nearest sonystyle, selling for rm199 if i am not mistaken.

i wouldn't really say im716 is lack of bass, use the foam tip and mod it with 33 ohm resistor, then you would have some deep quality bass.
