Let me get this started by stating what I have right now, and how I listen to my music. When I find a CD I love (shoutouts to Mothership and Planet of Ice), I rip it in Apple Lossless for my iPod and my Macbook Pro. The headphones I own right now are the MDR-V6 that I use when I'm at my apartment and the MDR-ED21 Fontopia's.
One's great for listening to lossless files, the other is sub-par. The only reason I went with the Fontopia's is because of all the earbuds I've tried (only these fontopia's and some SkullCandy Smokin' Buds), they would be very uncomfortable for walking. Reason being that 1) they fell out pretty often and 2) whenever the wire would sway into my body, I would hear an echoing sound (occurring about every second).
I'm looking for some comfortable earbuds that I can walk with (not exercise with, I'll keep the Fontopia's for that) that are sub $75 and are comfortable and won't produce the worst bounce-echo sound. Is this possible for earbuds? My current Fontopia's don't do justice to the effort I put into my music quality, and I would like to get more out of it.
I'm looking for ones that I can walk around with and will have a snug, comfortable fit while they stay in the ear. If it's possible, to not hear footsteps or the cable that's a major plus but I don't think so when wearing in-ear headphones. Also, I'm looking at the Etymotic ER6i's right now, if that does any good. They look like they could fit really well - but if I can get the same sound quality and fit for much cheaper than I'd obviously prefer to do so.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
