Geeze listening to my old pair makes me cringe. 

The Audio Technica ATH-CKP300 comes to mind. =)

i recently went through this and for me it came down to meelec m6 vs PX100.

I finally choose the PX100 II because:

- Its common for IEM's to produce a thumping noise when running.  There is a name for this but i don't know what its called.  I did not want to hear such noises during a run. I was concerned that the m6 may producing the same thing

- PX100 II is portable as they are foldable

- i find them very light and comfortable

- you can quickly put them on and take them off.  I read that you may need to fiddle around with the fit for the m6.  

- i can not comment on the sound quality but i'm happy with the px100.  Its a bit bass heavy but its just what i need to get me through my work outs.  

- Price was similar to m6.

best of luck with your purchase

I am in the same search so I thought I would bump this up. I am interested in the M6 but I was also thinking about something like the Koss KSC75. Has anyone used those in the gym or for working out in general? I like the idea that they are open so I won't get that thumping sound like RBNHIFI is talking about. My gym isn't all that loud really so I don't "need" isolation. 

My thing is I really, really want to stay cheap, $25 or less shipped. I don't need audiophile sound but something fun and appropriate for working out. Something better than iBuds or the $1.99 Sony ear buds I picked up at the dollar store months ago.

If you really want I can send you these - http://www.target.com/Sony-Sweet-Little-Headphones-MDR-EX33LP/dp/B001RB24LO/ref=sr_1_20/192-8770488-3605866?ie=UTF8&searchView=grid5&keywords=sony-headphones&fromGsearch=true&sr=1-20&qid=1298071196&rh=&searchRank=target104545&id=Sony%20Sweet%20Little%20Headphones%20MDR-EX33LP&node=1038576|1287991011&searchSize=30&searchPage=1&searchNodeID=1038576|1287991011&searchBinNameList=subjectbin,price,target_com_primary_color-bin,target_com_size-bin,target_com_brand-bin&frombrowse=0

Average knock arounds, they can be picked up at your local Target.

I appreciate the offer...I just went ahead and ordered the Koss KSC75. I figured I wanted to see what they were all about anyways and they seem like they would make a good workout portable. If I can scrounge the money I might order one of the Fischer offerings.

No problem let me know thru secretive Mafia messages how they sound. 

Will do. See you in the Mafia room.
