The PMX 100s are a great portable headphone, offering reasonably balanced and exceptionally detailed sound.

As far as earbuds go, the MX90 VC are a great choice, offering impressivesound quality with a stylish and stable design.

If you are a fan of earbuds and are on the move a lot, the MX55 might be right up your alley.

A wonderful set of closed headphones. The sound quality, while not quite as good as the PX 100, is quite impressive and the only real issue we had was with comfort.

The sound quality is quite good, but the Plug feels flimsy and doesn’t do the greatest job in regards to noise cancellation.

For their price, the CX 300’s offer a more than adequate replacement for your standard iPod headphones in terms of sound quality; and you’ll also be pretty pleased with their bass levels.

Bordering on the entry-level, the Shure E3c make a great choice for solid, all around sound.

As far as rich, fun IEMs go, you cannot go past the Westone UM2

If they happen to fit you properly and you can afford to not eat for a few weeks you’ll be in for the audio experience of your life.

If you have a decent equalizer on your media player, then this is probably the best choice you can make. If you don’t however, you may find the bass comes up lacking.

A decent IEM choice, but we’d recommend the Etymotic or Shure entry level models over the UM1 if you’re looking in this price bracket.

They don’t sound the best, but if you’re after great bass, then the FS1s are in your ball park.
