RSA Shadow is another option. The sound quality of the two running off an iPod nano is actually quite impressive.

I just got these black wire clips today. May help a little bit with messy cables.
I prefer strips of velcro hahaha
Or better yet, magnets!

It's the baldoor/mrice e100.
I been looking at the earbuds listed in the first post and most are not available for purchase anymore. Is there an updated list? New models that worth getting?
Any good? Worth getting as a step up from Monk?
That's is already the most updated list - old / discontinued models won't be removed from the list because they are relevant for comparison.
I like the e100 a lot, it`s V-shaped with a lot of clarity and detail. There`s a lot of texture to the sound and bass extension is top for an earbud. It`s hard to say whether it`s better than the Monk+, the Monk+ without foams is a bit more balanced at the cost of extension but a lot darker with covers. If you like a slightly brighter sound with a deep bass response and will benefit from having a remote, the e100a is worth a look, if you want a more balanced/relaxing sound then the Monk+ is hard to beat. Given how cheap they are, you could buy both really. It would give you a taste of two very different kinds of sound signatures, and you can decide where to go from there.
Have a look at my reviews below for more details, the EM3 is also worth a look in this price range.

Got it. Thank you for the info. I want a big step up from Monk. I like Monk, but they sound a little undetailed to me... I want something that would be detailed as Shure and dark(er) as Monk... Not sure where to go...
