IEMs for speech / voice

Q:  I listen to lots of radio podcasts and audio books. Which in ear monitor (IEM) should I buy? My budget is $150-200.

A: For lots of speech / vocals, you don't want overwhelming bass or recessed mids. In your budget, consider the Shure SE315, especially if they are on sale. The 315 is a singe BA (balanced armature) IEM, it is very isolating and not as bass prominent as similar dynamic driver IEMs. The detail on these is astonishing, and they are awesome for podcasts / chorus / opera / voice.

However keep in mind that you won't get huge bass from them.
