Type of music : pop and rock
(I'm looking for a more balanced sound not very bass heavy)
Price range: 60-80

You can check out HiFiMan's RE-400. Although they will cost you about $120 including shipping, it will be one of the best in its class that you can ever find. In my opinion, it can rival earphones twice its price

Hi, I'm exploring alternatives to retire my damaged Monster Turbine Pro Copper IEMs (still working, but has exposed wires near the tip)

- Your rig: LG G3
- What type of usage: 75% Music, 25% everything else
- File format used in your source: flac, mp3, Spotify (Highest quality)
- Genre of music you listen to: Mainly Japanese and English pop & rock
- Headphone / earphone type: IEM
- Other requirements (if any): Warm; deep and tight bass preferred
- Budget : <SGD 400 (open to choices from Amazon as well)

My IEM has lifetime warranty but just feeling backside itch to try something else.

You can audition the Mee Pinnacle P1 or the JVC woodies FX-750, both under your budget and can try before you commit.

- Genre of music you listen to: pop (K,J,chinese,canto,international), Soul, EDM

Personally prefer have higher fidelity than bass. Dont like to have too much bass.
