Looking for new IEM's. Help needed...

Good day OCUK!

So, as per title, I am on the lookout for some new IEM's but not sure what to look for.

I currently own:
AKG IEMs that come with the S8+
SoundMagic E10C's
Sennheiser CX 3.00
Beyerdynamic Byron

I use all of these, and they all sound different. I power them all using my Fiio A3 through my S8+ for out and about good music.

I am after a better sounding IEM, I do also like "proper headphones" but not whilst out and about, as they mess up my mohawk...

I'd give myself a budget of, say, £120?

What IEM's do you guys suggest? (I listen to mainly metal/heavy metal/rock and at rare times, pop/dance)

And these IEM's you guys have put forward for me to look at, will they all work great on my FiiO A3, or should I look at maybe getting something better for my amp?

they will all work fine straight out of a phone

I only use the A3 as the sound levels out of the phone are not enough... Metal has to be loud as ****

Also, another question, an important one... Will these earphones actually improve my experience when listening to Spotify?

goodbye hearing

Worth it, gotta not just HEAR those drums, gotta FEEL them!
I am careful though, it's only THAT loud for around 90minutes aday whilst going back and forth to work...
