Best earbuds for fiio e3

I know it's weird searching earbuds for a such cheap amp
In stead of buying a good pair of headphones and serching a good amp for it
Ok...ok...to the subject
I have an ipod 6g...bought it in europe...it have a volume limit...my 1st generation nano was twice as loud...i heard about the fiio...and pretty like how it looks...
I want a good pair of earbuds....yes earbuds...not iem or anything else...i just listen to music outside...and a full-size cans would be a little exagerated to walk with them on the street...
Ok...i heard about the yuin...i like them...and the ordinary look is exact what i look for...but the pk1 is a little to expensive for me...i want something in a range of 50-max 100 $
And beside that fiio will increase the volume on every phones i will plug into it....i want something that will work very well with it...i'm plannimg to use a lod...and since fiio e3 doesn't have a volume control...it will be nice if the earbuds will...but not necesarely...i can figure out somethin if i get a good pares of earbuds
If u can't recomand me something....maybe u'll tell me for what specs should i search a good earbuds to fit the fiio
Maybe impedance...or sensitivity...or...max input power
And another thing...i have the senns mx760...want somethin better...it doesn't work so well with an amp....

ADVANCED THX!!!

I'll get both...just don't really like the look of e5...looks like a ipod shuffle clone
i can't afford anything else but the fiio...i even made a couple of cmoy's...but was able to get just the opa2134...gain of 5
470 mf caps
Don't really liked how it sounds with mx760
So my problem now is the earbuds...

I'm not sure if you're going to find many answers, unfortunately... it's kind of backwards compared to the way most people think about things around here.

People usually buy amps to best compliment headphones/earphones that they enjoy, not the other way around.

It might help to add music preferences, as well as what you like/dislike about phones you've heard before (like the Senns that you're unhappy with... what's missing with them?).

I liked the sound of the senns...the volume is to low with them...as i mentioned my ipod has the eu volume limit...i dislike how the senns sound with a amp...that's why i asked for help in this thread...becouse not ethery headphone especially earbuds are ment to use them with a amp
About the yuin...isn't the pk2/pk3 to low impedance to use them with a amp
I don't know why...but i think that a higher impedance...and lower sensibility earbuds are needed to use with a amp...is it correct?
If not...at what specs should i look at when picking a earbuds for the fiio?

Ok...i understood that mu question does not have a answer
Maybe someane can tell me at what specs should i look when picking a pair of earbuds that i want to use with a amp
What's the minimal impedance...or sensibility...or does it have to support as much power as the amp could output???

I forgot to mention i listen alternative rock...
Maybe u know what frequency response is the best for this kind of music...

Waiting someane who can help me solve this

Thank you

Mylarone Hr2, or a Yuin.
Why not an iem though? They don't let sound leak out or in, perfect for being out and about imo.
'Alternative rock' doesn't exactly narrow it down, what kind of bands would you be listening to?

one less reason...my favourite
three days grace...
breaking benjamin...

What are u listening?
Will the pk3 suit well with the fiio...or there will be hiss and distorsion...it's low impedance and high sens?!
I just want to go death with my favourite music :P
Ok...what about a iem...i heard about marshmallow...from jvc...will it work fine

I just looked at hr1 and hr2
Is it a coincidence hr1 have the same specs as pk1 and hr2 the same as pk2
These are different brands...could they have the same drivers?!
How much are they

Given the choice I would get the PK2 over the PK3 since they will hiss less with the Fiio amps. PK3s sounded ok with the E3. Not really necessary to amp them imho.

but pk2 have a lowe impedance than the pk3 16 vs 32
i want to amp it becouse like i said my ipod is capped...has a volume limit
in th eu all have (((
so i'm searching a pair of earbuds that will work great with an amp...
for ex: i don't like the sound of my mx760 with a amp...a lot of distorsion in the lows
