Nice in ear headphones less than $75 | Headphone Reviews and Discussion - Head-Fi.org

Hi all- I'm looking for nice in ear headphones less than $75 (US).
These are my requirements:
1. Will be used 25% of the time while running. (So, nice fit is important).
2. Should *not* be boomy. I would like it clear and detailed across the lows/mids/highs.

I mostly listen to music that uses a lot of string instruments. Most of my collection in
iPod is ripped at a pretty high sampling rate.

I considered Klipsch image S4. But folks have concern about the durability. And some feel
it has too much bass.

Thanks.

You're probably going to see this a lot... RE0!!!

Microphonics might be an issue though

IEMs for running is a bad idea. You'll get heaps of bone conduction and the earphone 'moving up and down' in your ear.

Definitely think about the RE0s. They meet your criteria and are a great bargain for very good phones.

@james7266, that link goes to a site that's seems to have spam/phishing issues. Also exactly which headphones did you buy there?

Are there any other recommendations as well?

Is it worth waiting for the Ultimate Ears 500?

Any Shure's that I should consider in this price range?

Klipsch image S4 durability/build issues?

Thanks.
