Headphone recommendations...

[Spoon]

like a few have said ..
$100 range in ear:
Klipsch S4 / S4A (if you want a mic)
Shure SE215 (imo .. best cable design)
Grados ( have never tried it .. hard to find at local store to test but i hear a lot of good reviews)
Senniheiser ( love my $100 over the ear )
Bose IE2


Bluetooth wise:
Jaybird Freedom JF3 for music .. have not test call quality. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the jaybird if you want a wireless head phones that can handle a good sweat session at the gym. I havent had the need to wipe the headphones down at all during intense work out session unlike the bottom three .. had to wipe those down every 5-10 min.

I've used:
Moto S305 - Very light weight and most comfy of the three moto listed here. Downside is sweat will just be absorbed on the foam padding since it's on ear design.
Moto S9 - Great sound but hurts after a while. Sweat resistance will be about 3-4 months till buttons starts to mess up.
Moto S10 - Ok sound .. not very comfy at all. Sweat resistance is like nil. Will last 2 months before controls starts to mess up.

I've heard nothing but bad things about the iGrados. Don't forget Etymotic, NuForce, and the audiophiles delight--HiFiMan/Head Direct RE-0 or RE-Zero. The latter is probably the best sounding IEM under 100, but massive durability questions exist.

I'd put my NE700X against any in the list. Also, if you like the S4s and want to post on head fi, lie and say they suck lol

check out these grados--audiophile quality and foldible $50:
Grado - I-Grado iPod/MP3 Headphones-Audio Advisor

senneheiser also makes something that is not quite as foldible and travel friendly:
Sennheiser - HD 228 - Headphones-Audio Advisor

Down a half level in sound quality is Koss porta Pros $35.00 over the ears and folds down small and comes with it's own travel pouch:

I just had to buy the Kilpsch android app controlled babies. The app hasn't been updated in sometime and there is zero support. The app does not work at all with ICS on the nexus. These are still good Buds, but you can buy the same or simular quality for less money with out the failed promise of the app.

For running around and dailey use when you aren't likely doing "critical listening" I found a mistake that ius too goood to be true for the money. these babies must be an over run by a chinese factory for a mid-quality "named brand" product. they are $4 on ebay. they fit me very well, are comfortable and fairly sturdy. after a few weeks of use and a break-in periord, they were just too good for what i paid and i purchased another 4 sets:

For your info on this last item. i have a large head and need the largest bud accessories available to get any-type of a good seal and be comfortable and have good sound including bass. these buds fit me very well; are comfortable and seal-up nice for goood base and sound isolation.

Happy tunes

Did you like the iGrados? Head-Fi.org'ers DETEST them, so I'm intrigued by a positive review.
