I'll follow-up with some more details for sure - I literally just popped them in for a minute or two, but from what I heard (the whole song or so) I was very impressed. For $8 or whatever, you can't beat it, period.   I'll check back in tomorrow.

Quote: Just got the Riptidz in today, haven't worked out with them yet but they fit PERFECT thus far. Even the default ear tips, the fit very comfortably - and they give you 2 other sizes just in case.   So far, so good. Thanks again for the recommendation.  

Thanks again for continuing to reply with suggestions - much appreciated!   The Riptidz I ordered should be here in a few days, I'll check back then for sure.   I should've noted in the title or my first post, I suppose my ears aren't super small (although they are a bit smaller I'd say...

Wanted to thank everyone for all the quick and helpful replies - much, much appreciated.   Just ordered the JVC Riptidz. I figured for $8, you can't go wrong. Worst case scenario I'm out 8 bucks and can comfortably try another suggestion here. Obviously I'm hoping that's not the case and...

Thanks again everyone for all the replies - much, much appreciated.   Quote: What about for running - either on the treadmill or outside - no issues with them popping out right? They sound ideal otherwise.   Thanks again.

Thanks for all the quick and great replies thus far.   The Etymotic ones intrigue me; without getting the custom fit mold done, do the default interchangeable pieces fit even the smallest of ears?   Looking forward to more replies!

I have small ears, I'll admit it.   I work out very, very often and like everyone else, need to have music to do so.   I purchased these MX85's:   http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-MX85-Sport-Twist-Earbuds/dp/B001GSZAF0/ref=pd_sxp_grid_i_1_2   ...after I read several reviews that...

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

They look perfect, thank you so much.   Still open to other suggestions that fit the criteria. Thanks in advance.

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...
