I'm looking for a good set of Senn IEM's and was looking at these, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...pf_rd_i=507846
Are they any good? Are there better ones? And I guess they don't have to be just Senn's. No more than $60

These are better - you need to give us a budget otherwise your question is far too vague.
There are lots of other brands besides Senn too ![]() I have the CX300 and while they are OK for the money - the bass is too boomy and "flabby" for my liking.

Okay, okay, I added a budget and it doesn't have to be just Senn's.

The best two in this range are the Nuforce NE-7M and Maximo iM-590.
Look into them.

I didn't know what IEMs were until I looked at this thread. Now I know it means In-Ear Monitors. But am I the only one? I'm figuring if it were "Best In-Ear headphones for $60?" or something, then maybe you'd have a wider selection to choose from.

'Earbud', 'IEM' and 'In-Ear' are often used interchangeably even though they are technically different things.

But "IEM" means In-Ear Monitors. That's all I was concerned about.

Another vote for NE-7Ms.
