Reddit mentions of MEE audio Sport-Fi M6P Memory Wire In-Ear Headphones with Microphone, Remote, and Universal Volume Control (Black)

I'll recommend the three pairs of headphones that I use on a regular basis. I know you asked for over-ear, but even as an over-ear guy myself I've still gotten a lot of utility from all three of them, so they're all certainly worth considering.

MEE Audio Sport-fi M6P- These are my daily workhorse earbuds. I wear them a good 6 hours a day, and they stay fairly comfortable throughout; they wrap around the ear and fit quite nicely. Includes an on-cord volume adjustment, microphone, and pause/play button, if that matters to you. They run around $19, and they're far and away the best headphones I've ever used in this price range.

Sony MDR-V6- These were my first step into the world of "real" headphones. They've been industry standard studio monitors since the 80s, and for good reason. Sound is clean and crisp, with a fairly balanced sound signature and particularly good mids (seeing as classical music isn't particularly "bass heavy" having mids as a strong point is ideal; you definitely wouldn't want a bass-head pair of cans). They're foldable, and so I find them rather portable. They're over-ear and closed-back so they're not going to bleed sound all over the place, but they don't have the best isolation so if your daily traffic is particularly noisy (e.g.: downtown of large city or louder) that might be a bit of an issue for you, but if you're in areas a bit more quiet (e.g.: office, cafe, smaller city) they'll do you fine. They're not the most fashionable things and they also have a coiled cable, neither of which bother me but could be an issue for some. They run about $80, and if you're coming from cheap gas station quality headphones these will probably knock your socks off.

Sennheiser HD 598- Of the three, these are the best. Amazingly warm and rounded, with a spacious, open, and detailed sound. They have really good instrument separation as well, which obviously lend themselves quite well to listening to classical music. Extraordinarily comfy for an indefinite period of time. However, these are my "home" headphones, as they are open back and provide absolutely no isolation whatsoever- I can hold a conversation perfectly well with someone with these on and my volume at 70%, so they'd be utterly useless in any public space. The open back provides an excellent soundstage, but that's the price you pay. Speaking of price, they run at around $150, but they go on sale with some frequency for $99.

I personally would recommend getting the earbuds and the 598s, with one being an out and about pair and one for being a home pair. That's what I usually roll about with, and between the two of them I don't really use the V6s anymore as a consequence. That being said, if you're only going to buy one pair as your be all end all, the V6 is a great purchase- I used them exclusively for 4 years and was never disappointed. If these don't float your boat though, I'd recommend hopping over to /r/headphones or www.head-fi.org and see what they have to say- they're both extraordinarily helpful communities with huge and knowledgeable user bases.

For a wired option, I've always used these and loved them. Cheap, sound fine, and you can re-bend the wire to anchor better behind your ears.

Brainwavz Delta, Xiaomi Pistons (make sure to buy from a trusted reseller, as there are many fake versions of these), and the MEE m6 are all commonly regarded at that price point. I recommend hitting up /r/headphones and headfi.org for more advice. Not sure I'd recommend actual headphones at that price point.

They come with a bunch of different "tops" that you can use if your ears are weird like mine, sound is pretty good and although the sound control isn't ideal, it works pretty well once you get used to it.

Budget - $80-$100 total

Source - PC and Moto X

Isolation - Semi-open at worst, closed preferable.

Type - IEM and over

Balance - Flat or slightly bassy, not V

Past - Meelec A151 and Klipsh S4-II

Music - Variety of techno

When the A151s broke, I ordered the S4s and a new jack. Was pleased when jack worked and hated Klipsh's flat cable. Now the jack is broken again and I'm looking for new buds. I'm reposting from yesterday in an attempt to get more opinions.

I've been looking around this sub, and I've whittled my list down to these, with durability being the advice I'm searching for:

IEMs:

• Meelec A151 - Great sound, pretty durable, but bad plug joint. Strongly considering.
  
• Meelec M6 - Said to be extremely durable, but I'm worried about getting lo-fi sportbuds sound.
  
• Monoprice 8320 - Heard they sounded great for the price, but it's the price and the gimmicky chrome plastic that has me worried.
  
  Cans:
  
  
• Creative Aurvana Live! - Read that they're weak as paper, and a bit pricey for me.
  
• Monoprice 8323 - Numerous reports of the headband cracking and losing one side of sound.
  
• Sony V6 - VERY pricey, but I found a comment thread complimenting them, hence their inclusion.
  
• Superlux HD668B - Supposedly better quality than the 681(Evo)s, and a dollar cheaper. Maybe.
  
• Superlux HD 681 Very well sounding for the price range, but also very leaky.
  
• Superlux HD-681 Evo - Highly rated and look to be awesome, strongly considering.
  
  Again, I'm looking for price, but durability is currently more important.

I bought these MEElectronic MP6 after reading a similar request, without the mic, they're $20, very happy with them, the memory wire works well, with an adjustable slider if you want to secure the wires behind your head too.

If you're looking for something with a built in mic, the Klipsch Image S4 is a pretty good choice. If you keep an eye out over on Woot The "sport" editions go on sale for about $40 on a regular basis.

Another pretty solid recommendation is the MEElectronics M6(P). They're some of the best earbuds you can pick up for ~$20.

I personally really like my Audio Technica ATH-IM50 earbuds. Only available as an import from Japan, I picked mine up from CDJapan for about $60 shipped.

Meelectronics M6P. I like them better than my old CX300, Etymotic ER6i, and Apple Dual Drivers (don't judge). The over the ear hook kills all microphonics without resorting to a flimsy cord.

Just got these a week ago Monoprice Enhanced Bass Earphones

And theses 2 weeks ago MEElectronics Sport-Fi M6P

Big fan of both. Sounds great, cancel's noise real well, and I like having buttons and a mic on the wire. The second pair will never fall out of your ear but I personally would not wear in public.

These are what I use, very comfortable, and under 20 bucks, the mic is right in the middle where the cords meet so that might be an issue for you.

Cannot seem to find them on amazon.es. However, there are the M6P. Would these be good enough for someone with low expectations? I just want some better quality than cheap phones, that will not fall from my ear too easily.

Maybe I'll get a good ones if I can manage to keep exercising, but I won't be picky with my first pair.

I use these at the gym. It has a small clip on it I tie to my gym top and it stays put while I run and lift weights. Audio quality is average and will do the job. Can't ask for too much when looking for something with the gym in mind.

When I can't wear my nice headset, I wear these: Amazon Link

I also wear them at work for hours at a time.

Comfort: I never had any issues after I put on the ear tips that I like. Sound: They are one of the better pair of ear buds I've worn. Price: they are cheap. Bonus: Useful to have when traveling or working out.

Xiaomi Piston 3 but they aren't great for running so I got the MEE audio M6P recently. They sound good enough and fit well but I have yet to test them on a run though. Maybe tonight. I use the Piston 3 for every-day music listening and both models are cheap, like 15€.

I also bought the 180€ Jaybird X2 but returned them for their bad fit. Also I feel a lot better without wasting 180€ on IEMs.

I have those (the ones with the microphone). The ones without are about 10 dollars cheaper. They stay in well, and they have good sound quality.

Get a set of sport earbuds that go well into your ear, just like earplugs would, and that have a wire going over the ear to keep them in place. Something like these work well:

These are pretty good.
