What is the best iem headphones under $200.  new  or used.  so it can be more than $200 if I can get it less used.  I will be using them for exercising.  I listen to rock like Hollywood undead, Seether, and other new rock.  lots of stuff that is on sirius xm Octane.  http://www.siriusxm.com/octane .  I will be using my Ipod touch 4g with an amp (not bought yet) if needed.  and using good sound files, not sirius radio.  I want good isolation and sound quality.  probably more on the bass side but good at all frequencies not just bass.  I want them to stay in my ear good and not break from sweat, because I will exercise in them.  does not have to be good with included tips, I can buy others.
 
I was thinking about monster pro gold or miles davis maybe, not ones like senheisser ie 80 because of lack of isolation.
 
don't need ipod control and heard that most headphones with control get sweat in the control and mess with the controls.
 
and I looked at this thread already and can't decide. http://www.head-fi.org/t/478568/multi-iem-review-250-iems-compared-ultimate-ears-100-added-08-20-12

You want to exercise with an iPod Touch plus amp....don't expect to break any PRs with that heavy/big combo.  I highly recommend you get a Sansaclip Zip instead and some "over the ear" IEMs for bombproof fit.

maybe not with an amp but I have a armband for the Ipod and it is the newest and thinnest.  and any idea of a good over the ear iem for the music listed above. or other if it stays in good like with a ear clip thing.
