Decent In-Ear 'phones?

[mickey711]

The Westone UM1s offer excellent sound quality for the price. I don't use them very often, though. I prefer headphones- they're usually more comfortable, especially when you're listening for long periods.

http://www.klipsch.com/na-en/product...-s4i-overview/ I recently bought the Klipsch S4i phones and am relatively happy with them. They don't compare to my old Future Sonics but considering how well they work with the iphone I think they are worth it.

Bought these for running, anyone have any experience with them?

^^ Yes, I have a pair of those (and another pair of Sennheisers for running). Neither work very well because they don't seal off in your ear adequately.

IMO the best mid-range earphone for running is the Klipsch Custom 2.

Wondering if I should just buy the over the ear headphones for listening at home, and stick with my Sony earbuds for running?

Interesting, Gnatty. They are opposite for me. Finally, ones that stay in during workouts.

My review of the Bose mobile in-ear headset. The quality surprised me. FWIW...

Cheers, a

CNET has gone gaga over these.

Anxiously awaiting http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Ears-...&condition=new . If they're better than the Super.Fi 5 Pros that I got my gf for Christmas, they'll be freaking fantastic.

Those look cool but $400 is a lot of cash for earbuds.

Paid 99 dollars - Amazon Gold Box Deal of the Day.

Not to mention, aren't we talking about high-end audio? Moreover, we're logged into StyleForum right now, right? 400 dollars is pittance!

Good deal and $400 is small time.

Dammit, how could I have missed that deal?

I actually don't mind the Sennheiser I posted above. It took some fiddling with the attachments to get them sized properly, but I am very impressed.
