I recently bought i-touch(32GB). The apple earphones that come with it are awful. Also I travel a minimum of 2 hrs in the day to reach my work place. So thought I would buy an In Ear buds which would give me noise isolation as well. Lots of threads in this forums had reviews with words like 'lows', 'mids', 'treble', 'bass' which doesn't make any sense to me. So I'm not too much into this terminology. I would tell you the kind of music I listen to and probably somebody can suggest a good one that would suit my tastes. I usually hate listening to metallica (which according to me has only noise), no offense here, its just what i feel. I listen to music from all languages ( Hindi, English, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada) and mostly melody. So my criteria is not too much of listening English albums but more of music from Indian cinema.

I have been going through a lot of reviews over the net. I did compare Senneheiser 300-II v/s Klipsch s4i vs Shure models. I read a lot of good reviews on Klipsch s4i. Not sure if it would suffice my needs. 4k is my upper limit.
Thanks.
 
I am totally in love with my Klipsch s4i, it also has a remote and a microphone which is fully functional and can be a life saver. IMO go get it.
 
M2 and M1 from brainwavz are the best I can suggest. I am using m1 for my iPod and they are awesome.
 
I am guessing good bass, good mids.

Local buy? - Brainwavz M2

Open to buying online internationally?

Consider Sunrise XCape-IE or NE-700X.

As a cheaper option, think of DUNU Trident. According to a DUNU shill who posts in head-fi only about Trident, it's worth more than $300 IEMs :P. Not actually, but it's one of the decent sounding IEMs around the $40 mark.
 
Looking at your music options , you don't seem to need a lot of bass . So unless your are a bass head and need a good amount of bass that can be felt , don't get the M2. The M3 would be overall more balanced and suited for your choice of music .:)
 
Another option is the Sherwood SE-777. I feel its a very balanced IEM and its within your budget at 3.6k.

I prefer it slightly over the M3. The M3 has a bit more mid bass for slightly more 'thump' but the SE-777 has more sub bass. The M3 and SE-777 both have very good vocals but the SE-777 has a slight edge with the treble as the Sherwood sounds more balanced of the two. The M3 has a slight dark sound with a little laid back treble by comparison.

Ohh yeah completely forgot about the Sherwood 777 .They are actually one of the real good balanced armatures Ive tried and can say they are better than the M3 :)
