I can't seem to find my old thread, but what are some good in ears for under $100. It would be even better if I can find some with a remote and Mic.

sony mh1c gets lots of mention lately. i dont know personally.

i keep trying different sets that i read about and im not totally happy with any set that i have right now. so my best advice is to maybe start out at $30-50. one thing ive found out is that $100 does not guarantee quality of any sort.

there's plenty of $20-50 phones that beat lots of $100 phones in everything. so basically be thorough in your research.

Klipsch Image X10, price on Amazon right now is $107.76, barely over your max, but it tends to bounce around. I got mine for $90 but thats the non-remote version. 
 
If not the Logitech UE500/600i can be had for under $100 both have the remote.

I'd say either the Klipsch X10 or the Sony MH1C are good choices but if you spend just $20 more you can get either the Rockit R-50 or the Hifiman RE262 which are both a bit better than the other 2 imo.

Have you heard the RE400?  If so how do the sound and compare to other Hifiman IEM's?

i want something with good bass and clarity because i listen to a lot of hip hop and r&b

JVC HA-FX40 costs approximately 20 dollars and is terrific for that price and the type of music you like.

 

[chevy454]

would they improve any with a small amp?

 

[tomasskalnin]

For you best option is only mh1c- realy good sound with plenty of bass and remote.

 

[chevy454]

how much am i limiting my options by wanting a remote? i saw a gadget on here a while back that let you use any iem's because it have its own mic and remote

Fiio E02i Rocky is the device you probably saw.

And In this link it opens up a chart, within that chart IEMs highlighted blue under the"i" section support mic and controls.

i been trying to choose between the JVC FX3X on a amp or the xb90's. I realized that wanting a mic and remote is really limiting my choices
