I am looking for a pair of new headphones, specifically earbuds for working out, etc... I have a pair of Etymotic ER-6i and Sennheiser PX-200 and absolutely love them both, but neither are very practical for running. Also I'm not looking to spend more than $45.

Thanks.

I have ER-6is that have been mounted to iPhone stock wire...

I doubt you'll find better earphones for less than $45 thats for sure. However, when I'm riding motorcycles I find it much better to run the wires behind me instead of in front. I would try that first.

I personally couldn't recommend an ear bud style since they don't stick in my ears all that well, however I do use a pair of headphones that completely cover my ears, Sennheiser HD 477s......absolutely awesome headphones.

Shure noise blocking earbuds - they sound fantastic but the fit (for me) is only decent if I use the orange-sponge fittings, the rubber pieces don't fit so well.

I'm not looking for a pair of noise-canceling headphones, I just want a fairly cheap set or earbuds that don't sound like trash.

I have ER-6is that have been mounted to iPhone stock wire...

What do you mean? I do hate that noise when something touches the wires while I'm listening. Does that fix this?
