I just broke my Sony MDR-EX7. I like the earbud design and small. I wear headphones for four hours a day and work out in them so I need something comfortable and wont flop out while im running. Only looking for new ones. Under $100

In my HO, I'd highly recommend buying a good pair of desktop headphones (such as Grado SR60) for the office and then a cheap pair of ear buds to sweat all over when you work out. Once you hear the Grados you'll wonder how you ever mistook Sony headphones for "good" and everything else will pretty much sound like ****... so cheap ear buds will be no different.

SR60's are well below your $100 price point... and amazing. :)

My suggestion is the Westone UM1. They can be had for a tad bit more then the 100 you wanted to spend.

I would also suggest heading over to headfi.org (http://www.head-fi.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=2) to get some good input.

And I agree with cr2sh about once you hear good headphone you will never again consider the sony's good.
