Apple in-ear.
Those ones suck to me

Always provide a number or range. Don't just assume that your you and everyone have the same notion of "ridiculous". My Ety ER-4P's weren't ridiculous for me (YMMV) and I still use them.


Just like "ridiculous", "good" is highly subjective. You need to give others an idea of what you consider to be good if you want meaningful recommendations. What have you used and liked? What have you used and not liked? What type(s) of music do you like and what can you tell us about your sound preferences?
I'd like around 100-200
That's the thing I've only ever used cheaper ones before, but looking to get myself a nice pair so don't really know what would be good lol.
I listen to everything...rock, pop, country and all

In that range, you may want to try the Master & Dynamic range of IEMs. There are three products: the ME01, ME03, and ME05. I demo'd the ME03 and ME05 and settled on the latter. All three are within your price range, and to my ears, they are really enjoyable earphones and of course very substantially better than the stock Apple variants.

Those look nice and have some good reviews. Know of any chain stores that would carry them? Just like to check things out before purchasing.

How about any over the ear headphones instead of the ones that just go in your ear, ever use urbanears? See they are between 100-200 and look somewhat nice

For over ears in that price range the Audio Technica ATH-M50x are the most recommended by both audiophiles and non-audiophile alike.

I stay away from brands like Beats and Soul. Most of their money is spent on advertising so product quality is lacking for the price. In the past I've used Klipsch in ears and V-Moda M100s in addition to what I listed, however the only thing I use within your price range would be JayBirds X2 that I mentioned. They're Bluetooth and come with comply foam tips for sound isolation. Once they're in they do not move. Highly recommend these or their previous version if you find a good sale price on them.

The Apple Store might carry them; not sure. I know they have the circumaural headphones there. Also, I think Master & Dymanic might offer free shipping and returns (you can double-check that on their website).
 
The apple headphones that came with the 6s+ will not stay in my ears for the life of me so looking to get a newer pair. I am looking for over the ear or in ear headphones, doesn't matter which. Just not looking to spend an absolutely ridiculous amount though.

I will be using them to walk to and from classes daily, run on treadmill, or working around the warehouse at the company I work for.

Want a pair with good sound quality and whatnot, so figured I would ask here what everyone else has found of good quality and easy to use with an iPhone?
At the gym= Bluetooth S520's from amazon. cheap, and effective.
Traveling/Work/Commuting- Sony MDR7506, Sound cannot be beat.

Thanks will check them out online!
 
I use the comply tips as well. In addition to helping with retention, they are more comfortable.
absolutely. these tips are really comfortable. before with the silicone tips, my ears would hurt. not anymore.
 
I have Moto tracks air Bluetooth over ear that I got for $70. Can't complain for the price but they are usually around $200 I think.
 
Thanks for all the replies guys.
I am going to do some research on your recommendations and see what I come up with and want!

Make sure that you are able to try them on. I have small ear canals and the Apple Buds, have never fit in my ears.
I did find a few those with that come with multiple tips, that fit in my ear. With me fit comes first then I worry about the quality.
 
I'm looking for some Bluetooth wireless buds. It's time to retire my apple shuffle and wired buds.
 
Klipsch X11i. Tiny. Unobtrusive. Comfortable to the point of forgetting they're in. Block lots of ambient noise. Match the Space Gray iPhones nicely, and are the closest thing I've tried to getting music hard wired into your brain.

I had these in the 10i version and liked them very much. Good solid performers.

RHA MA600i. Most of the others are very good as well.
I must add my voice for the Comply foam tips, really excellent accessory and very comfortable.
 
Space Grey Beats Solo 2 Wireless bluetooth headphones for general use, Master Dynamic MH40 for when I'm not moving about.
 
I just started using public transportation and I wanted some over the ears to help block the ambient noise.
I bought the cheapest pair of Bluetooth over the ears that I could find that still had a decent review and ended up with the Ausdom M06.

I'd never heard of them so I figured they'd be a stop-gap item until I did more research but after using them I'm not even going to bother looking further.
For the price (under $40 when I bought them) I am totally satisfied.
