So, I'm trying to find a new set of headphones for running/work outs, and I'm running into some challenges.
 
I have a fairly well-used set of Klipsch Custom 2's, but the cords on Klipsch's phones (in my experience) are very, very prone to tangles and tears in the cloth wrapping, making them very non-ideal for this purpose.
 
However, here's the big problem; I've got really small ear canals, and most IEMs don't work for me, because of this. I need something comparable in size to Klipsch phones with the 'small' gels (which are more like XS for most other brands).
 
Since these are just work out phones, I'm willing to sacrifice sound quality, so long as it's still listenable. I need a pair that fits, though. I tried using V-Moda Vibes with Comply foam tips, still didn't work comfortably.
 
I'd like to keep the price range under $100, at most, but ideally ~$50. Again, I need durability and fit.
 
Any suggestions?
 
EDIT: Longtime lurker, first time poster.
Also, I know the Klipsch Image S4's are well-reviewed. Anyone know how the cords are on those?
 
 
Thanks in advance.
