TiffanyPoodleslideI mostly listen to Alt rock, 90's Hip Hop, Jazz but I love almost all music. What do you think about the beatsXs?
TruthwormNot a fan of Beats. I find them too biased and not detailed enough for my listening tastes.
That being said, they are designed around exactly the type of music that you prefer. I'm a Classical, Jazz, and Electronica,(like Klaus Schultze, Jonn Serrie, Steve Roach), guy with specific Rock tastes,(like Foo Fighters, classic Santana, Neil Young), where I like detail and separation. Separation is tricky with IEMs, you'll spend bajillions to get IEMs that give you a sense of that. So I go with full-sized headphones mostly.
For IEMs at decent prices, that will elevate your experience,(IMO), try the MEE Audio line, which are quite well made and offer several different sound signatures. I am sure one of these will meet your desires. I have a couple sets of the P1 Pinnacle and they are VERY nice for multiple music genres, even screaming Nirvana. You might give those a whirl. Inside your budget, the P2 would suit- it's modeled on the P1 but constructed a bit less expensively than the P1, and worth the money at 100 bux less. MEE does a nice job of customer support too, they, (in my experience with them for the past 12 years, shortly after they established), back up their products. I think this might be your best bet....you get a nice sounding set of Audiophile grade IEMs at an entry level price.

TiffanyPoodleslideWhat do you know about the Bluetooth ear buds from that company. Obviously the quality on bt will be worse, but is much more convenient in the long run. That was my reasoning purchasing the beats in the first place, which quality wasn't great but were very convenient.

TiffanyPoodleslideAnd what about the current drop going on. These head phones seem perfect as I pretty much listen to everything. Massdrop x NuForce EDC3 In-Ear
Truthwormso, what I have,(for BT), is a set of the PlusSound Bluetooth IEM and Headphone cables that have been offered here on Massdrop. I can use them on headphones that have the same connectoids as some IEMs that I own. The catch here is that you can really only use them on IEMs and LOW imp. cans, for anything like good quality. The build and sound of PlusSound Audio products is very very good, you can get heavily into custom cables with them. Their pricing is good, but I remember when their pricing was happily quite low for the same excellent quality as they offer today.
You will be quite pleased with the NuForce sound. Yes, I agree, it would be a good match for your prefs.
p.s. I applaud you asking good questions. I think people just getting started in a passion that can become very expensive should be more into asking questions and "listening" to experienced members of a community. Free advice is a great thing when you may be turning your wallet inside out one day......
cheers!
