I'm not experienced with choosing good quality In Ear headphones, I'd like to spend about $100 at the most if possible for the best sounding in ear headphones I can get. I've bought and tried the Klipsch S4 and really liked the sound but after researching a little bit, lots of people think they have good sound quality but a lot of people say they break after as little as even a few months of use, sad to hear after spending $100. So my search continues, I'm going to be using them mainly for the gym so I'll need some that can take a little bit of a beating and last a good amount of time and have superior sound quality. I'll also be using them with my iPhone 4, so a mic and controls would be awesome.Thanks in advance!

hey, you should check this earphones buyers guide (pdf has around 20MBs). on page 30-.67 are reviewed some of the best earphones available under 100$. also, you should consider shure se215, they're new, and from what I've read on head-fi and internet, they're very good. I'm thinking about buying ones.

so is a mic a necessity in what you're looking for? because that narrows your choices down a bit. you could always try ADDIEMs

Well at the $100 range you could try the Shure SE215 or the Monster Turbine (online stores are much cheaper than $150 at best buy etc...)
You can also get a mic for the turbine. (control talk model)
both of these models offer a good warranty should you break them.
 
however is the mic a necessity because that severely limits your options.

meelec offers many of their IEM products as a mic'd version as well.
