Good Small IEMs in Red under $80 ?

Need some help in buying some IEMs as a gift for a friend for Xmas. My friend has a big thing for items in red so I wanted to get her some IEMs in that color. She has small ears and has a problem with heavier ones falling out during medium movement, like walking.

 

Can anyone suggest some lighter models that come in a red color and still sound decent?

 

Thanks in advance for any advice....

What's even better in terms of fit will be the M21. They're tiny.

None of those make sense....S4/Remix don't have good SQ. HF5/3 are over the budget as are Monsters (no specific models given anyway). Crystals aren't even red, only the Golden Crystal is.

You can get Ety MC5s for under $80. The ones that nikp posted a picture of are MC5s, not HF5s.

I meant Zarim's recommendations. MC5 is fine.

sorry...i assumed you were talking about the whole thread because you mentioned a large number of headphones and most people who posted only mentioned one headphone.

Or, you could buy any color IEMs, and possibly red comply foam tips? Just giving out options.

MEE M21s*, Etymotic HF5/2/3 (if you can stretch cash a little), Etymotic MC5/2/3*, Brainwavz B2s (if you can stretch cash a bit), Klipsch Pro-Media*, JVC Marshmallows***, Klipsche S3*, Shure** (I'm pretty shure they have a model in red; see what  I did there? ;)), AKG K328** (AKG may have other models in red), SOL Republic has some IEMs in red**, Beyer Dynamic DXT 17*, MEE RX11**, MEE M31*, JVC Aircushions*, V-Moda models**, JBL Roxy**

 

I think this list is large enough :p

 

*I haven't heard the IEM, but the company seems to be a good one, or they have been praised (somewhat on Head-Fi).

**I haven't heard the IEM, it may or may not be good.  It isn't talked about much on Head-Fi.

***Depends on which model you get, old Marshmallows were well liked on Head-Fi from what I've dug up :p
