Hi there. I am looking for IEM's with really good isolation. Sound quality is also equally important. The isolation requirement is mainly because the radio is turned up fairly loud at the gym and it is impossible to block this sound out and listen to my music with normal earbuds. I have no idea how all those people with iBuds do it
Customs are way outside my rather meagre budget.
Here is the criteria:
-Top isolation
-Top sound quality for the price
-Secure fit (shouldn't fall out while running etc.)
-Minimal microphonics (gym use)
-Source is 1st gen iPod nano headphone out, unamped.
-Budget is about $140. Can be negotiated however (a little)
-I listen to all types of music except really "noisy" stuff like heavy metal etc.
I'd appreciate if you guys could suggest some models and briefly outline their pros and cons. Cheers
