Hello, I have read and search the forums on multiple IEM's and Earphones, such as the Earpods from Apple. =P Anyway, here it goes.
 
So, I am looking for a good In Ear Headphone/Earphone.
 
Where I live it is hot and everything so instead of wanting to wear my Noontec Zoro's, which get hot/uncomfortable after a bit, out there looking.
 
Now, I would like a Neutral/Balanced/Warm sound, as I do not want anything that really outshines another. Such as so much bass that it threatens to take your head off while the highs/acoustics are so low, etc.
 
Here is the hard part. XD I am only working with a $30 and under budget. Plus, I am only able to use Amazon at the moment, so if there is any IEM's, etc, that are higher than that I would so need a discount code. =P
 
Examples of what I listen to:
Demi Lovato
Bridget Mendler
Lindsey Stirling
One Republic
David Guetta
Krewella
Capital Cities
 
Basically all genres. 
 
I really really need something that would be comfortable. I am not sure what ear size I have, so I am thinking small-medium sized. Will look up any recommendations or anything of the sort. Just remember, if it's above what I am able to pay with out a discount code, will not be able to get it. Economy. =P
 
Thanks!
 
Edit: Oh yeah, will be using these pretty much all over the place, with MP3 player, computer, watching movies, etc.

Sennheiser CX 300 or 200.  The 300 is better but a hair over your budget.  Shop around and see if you can find a good deal.

Bass heavy, but in a good way...and you can tune it with your EQ anyway...

That is definately a contender. =P

Looked those up actually. Not entirely sold on them. 
 
Thinking about the VSonic GR99 as well, if I can find it.
 
What about the Nuforce NE-600X?

NuForce is a good company.  Although I have never listen to their IEMs, and my only experience with them is my ICON Mobile AMP/DAC, the 600 should be a good pick for you.

Hope it is okay to post again. XD After careful consideration and multiple threads, reviews, etc. I have thought about the following headphones:
 
Vsonic GR99 - Amazon
LG Quadbeat - Amazon [ Like Joker suggested. ]
Philips SHE3590 - Amazon
Donu Trident - Ebay
Vsonic GR02 - Ebay
VSonic R02 Silver - Ebay
Astrotec AM-90 - Ebay
 
The Ebay ones are from Lendmeurears. The reason I upped the budget alittle is due to the free shipping on the Ebay items. Out of all these, what do you think is the best deal? Comfort is a big deal for a small - medium size ears. Sound, I believe would be like Warm/Neutral/Balanced. Something that does not shake my head with the bass. =P Though I can enjoy it.
 
Thanks for helping!
 
NOTE : Copied and pasted this from the Multi-IEM Review thread by ljokerl. Hope that is okay.

Those Vsonics are fine, just beware of fakes from eBay.

Just picked up the E10's....
They are great with excellent bass...highs are bright..and mids can be a bit forwards a minor tweak with the EQ and its fixed...
Comfortable with stock tips..but the SHE 3590 tips on the E10's...fit great.
 
I had to EQ alot to get the sound I wanted with the SHE 3590..well not alot..but some.  But not at all with the E10's
 
 
I thought the Philips were good...
but the Soundmagic's Excellent!!!!!!!
