i'm don't follow too closely with cans but i can chime in on IEM's as I've owned a few pairs.
in terms of budget, creative ep-630's lasted me about close to two years of service until one side shorted out. good clean mids and highs without an overpowering low end bass. those things are tanks as i threw them in my pocket, listened to them everyday on the commute to school, at the gym. great headphones if you can find them for a bargain (got mine before for $15).
sennheiser cx-300's are essentially the same as ep-630's but more expensive. sound quality is the same except they died after about a year of use.
i'm using ME electronics M6P+ and M11+ right now. The M6P+ is way too bass heavy for my liking and has a muddy mids and the highs are almost non-existent. they are good for the gym though seeing as the ear-hugging design ensures it'll never fall out.
the M11+'s are probably the best pair of IEM's since the sony ex-71's I used in high school. Decent mid-range and a very good high range for the price (which is quite affordable). bass is a bit underwhelming but i dont find it to be a problem. theres currently a promotion on the MEE site if anyones interested too.
dont settle for overhyped skullcandy's, beats or bose or whatever the fuck hipster douchebags are using right now.
