Lost my JVC HA-FX201s the other day which means I need a new daily w/ in line mic.  I'd like to have one in hand by tomorrow so here is what I am looking at within my budget or lack there of.
 

SoundMAGIC E10M In-Ear Headset for iPhone, iPad, iPod - $45

Sony XBA-1IP Balanced Armature Headphones with Inline Remote - $39.99
XX Inner-ear with Mic and Remote - HA-FR201 - JVC - $18.99 (Just buying another pair)
 
I'm tempted to go for the Sony XBA-1P since I have never had a pair of BA phones.

Do you want something similar sounding to the JVCs? Of course, the XBA-1s are a much more balanced set, even the bassier E10 doesn't hit as hard. 
 
Actually, if you don't mind the ergonomics, perhaps the MH1C? A bit warmer in the mids, but still pretty bombastic, at least when compared to the other choices.
 
I think the safe bet out would be to go with the FR201s, you'd know what you'd be getting into.
