Good Afternoon Head-Fi's! :D
 
I am looking for a good earphone ..price does not matter quality does !! :D I am going to use it for exercise ( jogging, cross country, in the gym). right now I am using Awei ES900  bought them for 10USD and I find them pretty awesome.
 
Its lucky I was looking around I was going to invest into Bose, I saw some Yamaha earphones and wanted to know if they were worth it any recommendations for Yamaha?
 
But please do not just stick to recommending Yamaha I would like to try other brands.
 
Regards

PS: ai read that money is like buying the color of sound. and that it didnt matter what price it is but it matters on the quality. Can anyone confirm this and give a recommendation based on my request above?

Not at all.
The more money you spend (generally) the better the QUALITY of sound and better overall sound presentation (how your ears/brain perceives the sound).
The 'colour' of sound depends more greatly on the size, shape, design of the headphone housing, earpads and their material, driver type and material etc.
Also certain 'colours' can be attributed to certain brands which often tune their headphones in a consistent principle.
 
That doesn't mean you won't find excellent quality at other price brackets though, or good tonality/colour.
As it turns out, I own a YAMAHA EPH-30BL and find them to be fairly good value, with a mostly neutral presentation... so not ideal for bass lovers.
I do worry about their build quality at times though, which for the price I would assume to be fairly good, but the cables seem thin to me.
BUT... so far I had no problems with them (only had them a few months).

ThanQ GREQ  for your post ! I see and understand your Point. I looked up your Yamaha on ebay and I must say it has a nice look to it, I guess you did get your money's worth :D however love Bass :) so if you have any other recommendations I wouldn't mind them.

PS: How about these: Yamaha EPH-M100, EPH-W32, EPH-M200? any others ? Like the Sennheiser PMX 680 Sports compared to these Yamaha...does it make a difference sport made earphones compared to "normal ones"?Klipsch Image X10i In-Ear Headphones?
 
Theres also -Jaybird BLK Freedom Sprint Sweat proof Bluetooth Wireless earphones- but since they are wireless I am afraid I will be paying that sum of money for the technology instead of the sound quality

Patience. The Head-Fi posting guidelines say wait 24 hours before bumping: http://www.head-fi.org/a/posting-guidelines :)

Check out this set of IEM reviews. I'm sure you could find something there you would like: http://www.head-fi.org/t/478568/multi-iem-review-333-iems-compared-ubsound-fighter-added-02-21-15-p-1039

Check out the over ear designs. Those will tend to hold in better if you are being active. If they don't come with over the ear cable guides, you can buy them separately: http://www.meelec.com/MEElectronics_Over_the_Ear_Cable_Guides_p/ep-cableguide-bk.htm

ah ok wasn't aware sir.
 
Yes I have been checking reviews. So far I have found one interesting earphone: Yamaha EPH-100 the reviews say its awesome, however one person said when he goes running the sweat does something to his earphones.
 
I saw the price of Dunu on ebay those are expensive.
 
thanks for the guide i can see it has a lot of information I can find my way thanks.
