I'm having a hard time ( = 2+ hours searching online) finding something matching the following:

1) Foam inserts (like the $15 Koss earbuds)
2) Not noise canceling
3) Stays in your ears. (Either behind the ear or neck would be nice)
4) Better sound quality than the $15 Koss earbuds.

Any suggestions?

what's your budget ?
perhaps you can get the Westone um1

My Shure E2C's used to work great for that...Also my Shure 310s.

They both use foams, but you cannot hear ANYTHING especially when you're running and there is music on. If you're between songs or a quiet part of the song, you can hear yourself breathing and your hard footsteps.

So, what I did, I stopped using music to run. The experience of running became EVEN better.

Damn, I need to get back out there.

Yuin PK3, except for the fit. I was working on fitting the pk3 driver into the Sennheiser MX 85 Sport II housing (which sound terrible but fit great). It will fit and should work, but I managed to screw up one of the pk3 drivers, so I can't comment on sound quality.

Are the Koss ear that you mention, the Plug?

Are you sure you need isolation when running? Besides maybe not hearing a car coming from behind you, you also get the thump from bone conduction.

If you do want some isolation and you can spend $110, the UM1 are good.

Do you also mean not sound isolating?
If so, no iem will fit the bill.

An open canal phone like the JBL 220 Reference might fit the bill. They're in ears that have an open back. The foam tips that come with them are worthless, but Comply T-400 tips fit.

One from Yuin series. Depends whether to want to carry an amp or not.

How about the PK2 with this Whoomp attachment from Comply? You would get the benefit of foam inserts without so much of the sound isolation. I tried out the attachment briefly and it seemed to work OK.

how about sennheiser lx 70
look great, sound great, really stay on your head when jogging
can be had for around 15$
