So I have some CX-300's and they sound great minus the fact that the cord is almost as loud as the freaking IEM's. Anyway looking for a good sounding pair of IEM's for 50-75 with low or little cord noise. I use these mostly for running/biking/working out.

Soundmagic PL50
Meelectronics M6
Meelectronics M11

Slightly below your price range but all three work great for physical activity and have almost zero cable noise.

most over-the-ear IEMs have less microphonics.
In fact, you can try wearing your cx300's cables over your ears to see if that's a good temporary solution.
I recommend fischer audio eterna, especially since coming from cx300 you may find some other IEMs with balanced sound to be lacking in bass.

X2 on the Soundmagic!

You might want to consider the Klipsch S4 as well...

oh! look at nuforce NE6 and NE8 too!

+1 on the S4 great sound and virtually no cord noise.

PL-50s with foam tips.

S4's sound pretty awesome as well, and give good isolation. FWIR they are the best sounding at their pricepoint.

 

[thesharkbite]

do PL50's come with foam tips?

Yep, one pair is already on them and then two other pairs (one same size and one smaller, I think) in the included case. They're like Shure Olives in appearance, shiny black.

Slightly out of your price range but I say RE0's.

Actually i wouldn't recommend RE0 since the have a LOT of microphonics (cord noise when moving), i got mine today

(the shipping is amazing, took 3 days to get to Italy from China

) and it was one of the first things i noticed even when i'm sitting on my chair.

Agreed, RE0 not ideal for gym use, old cord or new. Klipsch S4 are good but not as good as the PL50 or Meelec earphones microphonics-wise.

Ditto on the NE-8. They are normally used cables up with cable guides over the ears, and have very flexible cables. IMO they are a good choice for low microphonics.
