Earbuds / Over-the-Earbuds for $100-150?

Here's my dilemma essentially:

 

- not a big time audiophile or anything, but I do enjoy and prefer solid, quality-sounding music

- looking to grab a pair of really good quality earbud/in-ear type headphones for the gym

 

I started by looking at the PowerBeats Sport In-Ear Headphones but have heard and read nothing but awful, awful reviews.

Ideally, I'd like a pair that goes over/in my ear like the ones above; main reason being that earbuds and my ears haven't really gotten along. For example, the buds that come with an iPod/iTouch are really uncomfortable in my ears - my ears might be a bit smaller than average, but nothing really alarming or anything.

 

Any suggestions? I know that's quite a bit of information and it's all pretty specific. Let me know if I need to detail anything else to help better narrow down any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Hi prolific1,

 

Perhaps you may want to consider Sennheiser's clip-on earphones - OMX 680?  There's also a headset variant - OMX 680i. 

Click on the following links for more information:

OMX 680i - http://www.sennheiser.com/sennheiser/home_en.nsf/root/private_headphones_sport-line_504607

They look perfect, thank you so much.

 

Still open to other suggestions that fit the criteria. Thanks in advance.

Any other options out there before I go with the OMX 680's?
