Seems like you enjoy modern music.

Try the Sennheiser Amperior or V-MODA's M-100.

In-ear below 300 can look at the Sennheiser MM70i and T-Jays 4.

Seems like the genre of music requires isolation to enjoy the fullness of the recording. Don't think there are headphones out there that can do it. Suggest getting Custom IEM's in this case.

Yamaha EPH100 or Shure SE215

 

[TeamStereo]

Do note that SE215 sound signature if you want something like the Monster Turbine the regular version will be closer to the Monster Turbine.

Do try out the special edition too if you like because its tuned pretty differently from the regular edition.

 

[kaixax555]

Actually for those phone suggestions hor... I was thinking of BA200 with some kind of adapter with mic and volume control

However there are problems
-difficult to find for S3 (heard almost all 3rd party IEM with volume control cannot work with it)
-could be very sensitive, volume knob needs to be adjusted frequently during calls (big problem with my Ares, not sure about BA200 but think problem should be less severe since BA200 is pretty inefficient IMO)

Haha, not too sure if i am interested in customs right now, any comments of Sennheiser MOMENTUM?

TeamStereo: Can pm me the price of your MOMENTUM

Had a brief listening session to it and found it musical sounding though quite unnatural and the highs rolled off.

haha i had a slightly different impression... it's quite V sounding. bassy, treblish... more of a fun sound rather than those serious audiophile-ish kind.

btw, do check out ehub@t3 for momentum as they are going for 7% + 10% off till end of the year. 7 is gst absorbed. 10 is if you are changi rewards card member (free signup, no sub fees) or airport staff. so after all discounts should be about $477.

Its definitely not the audiophile kind of sound but its good for casual listening and you can almost throw all genres at it without it sounding bad. =)
