Sorry i know theres a million of these threads on here, but sometimes you just need a specific answer. I need to find a pair of earbuds to use for when im skiing, running or just going about town. I listen to a lot of bass heavy music like drum and bass, uk bass, and hip hop, so deep powerful bass is crucial. That being said i still like my bass to be of good quality, along with the rest of the frequency range. So bass and sound quality are obviously the most important thing here, but on top of that i need something that will work for when im being active. I want something that will be durable and comfortable, and preferably are the kind where the wire goes up and around your ear like the sure se215s, or at least a design that wont come out of my ear. As said in the title i woulndt want to pay more that 150.

Bass heavy, of good quality, durable, comfortable, under 150, over-ear - ever look at the SE215? Honestly asides from maybe the durability thing they do fit most of the criteria. Can't think of much else apart from maybe the IE800 if you'd be inclined to wrap the cable over your ear yourself as they are naturally straight-down. Personally like the sound of the TDKs better as well, but not sure if you're willing to compromise with the form factor.
