Need some help in buying some IEMs as a gift for a friend for Xmas. My friend has a big thing for items in red so I wanted to get her some IEMs in that color. She has small ears and has a problem with heavier ones falling out during medium movement, like walking.
 
Can anyone suggest some lighter models that come in a red color and still sound decent?
 
Thanks in advance for any advice....

None of those make sense....S4/Remix don't have good SQ. HF5/3 are over the budget as are Monsters (no specific models given anyway). Crystals aren't even red, only the Golden Crystal is.

You can get Ety MC5s for under $80. The ones that nikp posted a picture of are MC5s, not HF5s.

MEE M21s*, Etymotic HF5/2/3 (if you can stretch cash a little), Etymotic MC5/2/3*, Brainwavz B2s (if you can stretch cash a bit), Klipsch Pro-Media*, JVC Marshmallows***, Klipsche S3*, Shure** (I'm pretty shure they have a model in red; see what  I did there? :wink:), AKG K328** (AKG may have other models in red), SOL Republic has some IEMs in red**, Beyer Dynamic DXT 17*, MEE RX11**, MEE M31*, JVC Aircushions*, V-Moda models**, JBL Roxy**
 
I think this list is large enough :p
 
*I haven't heard the IEM, but the company seems to be a good one, or they have been praised (somewhat on Head-Fi).
**I haven't heard the IEM, it may or may not be good.  It isn't talked about much on Head-Fi.
***Depends on which model you get, old Marshmallows were well liked on Head-Fi from what I've dug up :p
