Hello everyone!
 
I am looking for a good pair of in-ear headphones that won't "Break the Bank". Below I am listening all the information on how I would like to use them.
 
They would be primarily portable, in the car, coffee shop, working-out etc.
 
I would like something that is very iscolated, and cuts out most outside noises.
 
My main protable music devices are an ipod,ipad2, and laptop.
 
Types of music I listen to very tramendously, but I would say I listen to more alternative rock and modern christian music. I would say I tend to like my music on the bass heavy side.
 
But to keep things intresting...
 
I also am a bass guitar player (not an expert by all means). I play mainly contemporary christian music, alternative rock, and rock. My idea is to use these headphones as in-ear monitor for when I play bass live at local churches that have the capability for in-ear monitoring.
 
But out of the two I would use it more for just music playing.
 
My past 2 examples of in-ears were:
 
Bose "on ear" in-ears, (these were my first headphones past cheap ipod ones)
 
Then after I wore those out I got some skullcandy titans cause they were cheap and seemed really durable with the metal housing.
 
If you need more information just post and I will try to respond promptly.
 
Thank You!

Consider the UE Triple-fis.  You can generally find them on the for sale/trade forum for $100 or so.  As long as you get a good seal, they isolate great have awesome sound quality for the money -- punchy bass and sparkling highs,  I've also found them to be very rugged and can take a lot of abuse so they make great gym headphones.  While I prefer the sound of my JVC FX700s and Senn IE8s, I always go back to the Triple.fi's when recommending a solid, general purpose iem.

Sunrise Xcape Impressive Edition. You can sometimes find them used, if they pique your interest let me know I can MAYBE find them for you. They're excellent headphones good for everything really, the sound meshes well with everything I've put them through.
