The question has been asked a few times, but always seems to meander away from what I'm looking for (at least in the threads I found).
I currently use an old pait of Sony MDR-E565 earbuds. Top of the line when I got them, but that was a while back. It's time to replace and upgrade.
I will be using whatever I get on a Nomad Jukebox Zen (think iPod, if you aren't familiar) and possibly on a PCDP at work.
I'll be listening on the bus, subway, walking, and at my desk at work. Possibly in the gym, if I ever get back.
An amp is not an option (have enough gadgets and doodads in my backpack as it is).
I am willing to spend $150, max.
So far I have considered the Entymotics ER-6 and the Sony E888. I just noticed the Shure E2c, so they're in for consideration, as well as anything else you folks might recommend.
Whatever I get needs to be easily packable and fairly durable. I'm careful with my toys, but when you carry them around all week anything takes a beating. I'm going strictly earbud or canal.
Thanks much.
