SENNHEISER IE 40 PRO is what I have been using for the past year. I enjoy the clarity of the sound. It really allows me to hear my flaws perfectly!
I wear IEMs on hot days or in the cold to be able to wear a beanie. The ones I use (Sennheiser IE-40 Pro) sound pretty similar to the HD-25s I normally use for the top end, but sometimes I don’t get a proper seal and I miss out on really low frequency handling noise. Also, set awareness is harder with IEMs. I wouldn’t mix with IEMs but I’m sometimes quite happy to boom with them. Normally I’m pretty happy with using HD-25s with velvet pads. So much more comfy than the pleather.
I've tried 3 pairs of IEMs in the 100-200 buck range (Senn IE40, 1More, Samsung) and none of them was anywhere near the over-ear open-back Senn HD560S.
