While on holiday I lost my beloved IE8s which were bought as a gift , unfortunately I cannot afford to replace them, now I'm looking for a fun sound and just from research on head fi and other sources I've narrowed down my list to the five in the title, I listen to all genres but with emphasis on pop, techno and rock occasional r&b, if you can help me out it would be much appreciated, they also need to be durable and comfortable as I run around 5k every day. Thanks in advance

I think you should consider the Etymotic HF5 and the Sony XBA-1 also.

Based on what I've read, I would not put W2, XBA-1, RE272, nor HF5 as "fun" like IE8 is. GR07 would probably be a good start, but I don't have enough experience to give a definite recommendation.
