The best Shure's are $500! You've got expensive tastes Alan. They better sound good for that price. I'm getting some Axiom speakers if I'm spending that much...who needs headphones  As for the Etymotic, those are $100 for the ones referenced($70 on Amazon though)....not sure how the cheaper ones compare. The Auria Zeal is $35.

I've been through a number of different headphones, ear buds and iems. I wholeheartedly recommend Etymotic. They are some of the best sounding phones I have owned.

How well will the Etymotic's stay in during a workout though? That is the main criteria she is looking for. Even more important than sound quality! *GASP*

See my thread, where I described my ears as feeling violated by the etymotics. I don't think they'll come out. Not that I actually work out.

I still like the Koss KSC75s. They sound good, are inexpensive, and stay on your ears...if you don't mind the "over the ear" clip style. (For some, it's just not cool to have anything but white buds). Rick (Wid) and I think one or two others here like them as well.

Oh yeah, the 75s are a fantastic bang for your buck. I still own a pair.

Mark, your link sucks.
I bought a pair of those. They sound good!
BUT, I think they're WAY too bulky for anyone who is seriously looking for "workout" headphones. IEM's are the way to go for that.
