Agreed. They stay on, tugs and all. Plus they are available with iPhone controls. And they come with the Shure foam olives. Decent bass.

Bass personally is too much for me, but I would see how anyone could like the bass.

I use my SE215 for exercise too. They have great fit, are durable and stays on. What's not to like?

The price to use for exercising while risking it getting soiled and perhaps spoiled? (LOL)

You could always put your iems in a hearing aid dehumidifier

$99 is hardly much for an IEM that's kevlar enforced.

The SE215 is a little more expensive in my country. And I don't think I will buy them for exercising though, I would rather take some soundmagics as throw around pairs.

Soundmagic EH11 anyone? They are really cool IEM from soundmagic and the earhooks assure they don't fail on you when you most need them. I have took them for some runs, and, so far so good.

Jesus, Kevlar enforced? Tug resistant? Powerful bass? Sounds like something I'm interested in. I'll search the se215s on Amazon. 99$ isn't too bad for me, considering my s4is were like 80 I think. Plus i live in, the gym so i have no issue paying a somewhat higher price for quality earbuds that'll withstand my workouts. Thanks for all of the suggestions and info guys...

The SE215s will stay tighter than the S4s would, so it's better for exercising.

I guess the real question when discussing pricing is what is the cost based on purchasing price parity. For example, if a headphone costs $100 in the US, with the US average wage around $17 an hour, that represents around 6 hours of work at the average wage. If it costs $158 in a country with an average wage of $5 for example, then it represents 32 hours of labor at the average wage. Of course some people in lower wage countries have very large incomes, however the purchasing price parity does reflect what that price means in that country.

That is quite a complex way of viewing it, but I guess it does make sense to a certain extent. Some things are more expensive due to the currency exchange, added with distributor's fees.
