Most likely have to buy new IEM's without auditioning - a little help?

As the title says I'm getting new IEM's but for most models I haven't got a chance to audition them before I buy.

So far I've looking at the sub 120€ range and have come across:
-Shure SE115 (not available yet in most places)
-Shure SE-210
-Ultimate Ears super.fi 3
-Ultimate Ears super.fi 4

At the moment I have Sennheiser cx 300's and in my opinion the sound of these are way too bass heavy and muddy with no clarity on the mids and highs.

I really like the sound of my at home headphones which are DENON AH-D1001K's
The sound is clear and controlled but not too harsh with a nice punchy bass and deep low tones when you need em, but not too bass heavy.

I listen to a lot of metal (Lamb of God, Gojira, Killswitch Engage, Strapping Young Lad, Arch Enemy, etc.) and also some blues and rock.

Any suggestion on what IEM's I shoul consider getting?

EDIT:

I got a good price on the UE super.Fi 3's so I decided to try them out first.
