Sony has the MDR-AS40EX which uses the same EX design as EX series IEM's, but is designed for sports & gym use with a headband that gives you a stable fit.

As good as the Shures work the Westones are even better. Slightly smaller and lighter housing with more manageable cables. I think they are THE BEST for working out/running, etc.

x2. Good bass, no microphonics if worn properly, plus very nice sound.

Thanks for the replies. I jumped on a pair of Senn CX300's because at $15 I couldn't resist, and I have zero experience with IEMs so something cheap to experiment with the mechanics didn't seem like such a bad thing.

If I'm not happy with the s/q or want an upgrade, sounds like the UM1 is the ticket.

I'm going to try to get them repaired but I'd like to get something a bit cheaper for the gym. I would like <200 with a good amount of bass. I've been looking at the Super.fi 5 EBs but that might have too much bass. When I work out I listen to a lot of dance/electronic music, etc.

Man, I wouldn't dare risk my 530's in the gym lol I've been using my E4G's there for about a year, and they're awesome. They come with the ear clip but I've not been using at and they still stay in place even when I do an hour solid of cardio and it's dripping off me lol

if i start going to the gym ill be thankful the zune premium buds are good enough for those times so i dont have to buy anything else, and keep my triples safe.

I've been using my Shure E2C for gym since 2 weeks ago. Paired it with my Cowon D2 (it sounds terrible with my Ipod Touch), with mach3bass at 10 and a little bit EQ, i could get the sound just right to my liking.
