I am waiting for QKZ W1 PRO for my running, the are recommended here, I have no idea if they the best up to 3usd but they ridiculously cheap - 8usd so no worry when they get damaged. In addition, in their description, they are advertised as waterproof.


Woo! W1 Pro is a great cheapo iem :)

What's the difference between pro and regular?


There isn't a regular one as far as I'm aware. I think the Pro is just going along with the recent trend of "proing"; M6 Pro, Tennmak Pro, etc.

The Brainwavz XFIT XF-200 could also be good for running. Basically the same physical design at the W1. They have a less balanced sound (strong bass and treble) and no removable cable, but an awesome case and a slew of good accessories.

Can not wait to hear your impressions on how they compare to the TK13 :))

Simple put, my TK13 have about 250 hours on them....the D2 have 1 Hour....the D2 is my  new favorite. The sound stage is huge, the clarity is crisp, the bass is deep, the mids (with white filter) are forward and detailed, highs are slightly bright but tolerable. Separation is great. Overall these are a definite league above the TK13.

  Since the Vivo XE800 was hyped two years ago at $99, it is now under $27, so for those who have it and some of the current sub $50 favorites, how well has it aged for 1/3 of its price from 2014?

Careful, the vast majority of those are not the same as the original. If it doesn't have the movable metal nozzle, it's a fake.
 
With that said, it's very good, but a lot of these ~$30 hybrids have met or surpassed it.
