[Help] In-ears up to 250-300$

Hi everyone!
Suddenly but surely I realised that 20$ headphones is not enough for me.
So,I decided to buy something great,but I'm just a poor student,that's why 250-300$ is max i can pay for headphones

I've been reading different articles/forums/youtube and so on and I've chosen next headphones to test:
1. Westone w10/w20
2. Shure 425
3. Sennheiser ie80
4. Sony xba-h3
5. Sony xba-300

Note here: I'm listening flac via iPod classic,mainly rock/folk/country ect. -like almost everything from '50 till '90

Well,let's move on. I've spent half an hour listening each of those,and I was blown away with xba-300 sound. It was just great comparing with others,I was able to hear exactly everything,every sound was standing on the "right place", but sound was little bit artificial when I was listening some Jazz compositions, though I liked it in some way But frankly westone are more comfortable,huh.

And yeah, i don't really need bass, more important are sound quality and noise cancelling.
So,should I buy xba-300 or you can recommend something better?

P.S. should I get something instead of my IPod afterwards?
Thank you!
