I think I already know the answer to this but....
Guy I know wants to trade around for some Beats by Dre model headphones. It would be the iBeats or the Tours, I only like the in-ear models. Worth the trade at all or total hype? Gym use only, so they don't need to be great but they do need to take some abuse. I like the look of the iBeats the best, anyone using these?

They are good, but not as good as their price.
See Etymotic Research for real quality and real vale. |

My wife has some Shures, (don't know the model but they're around $100,) she loves. She runs 6 miles, three times a week with no sweat issues. I have a set of Klipsch S4's that also function well during workouts. |

I had a pair of Tours. They constantly fell out of my ears (even with minor movement), regardless of which inner-ear piece I had on it. I tried all available sizes. They did sound nice, but were not worth the constant annoyance of them slipping out of my ears. I would suggest trying out a pair to see if they fit you and will stay in before getting some.

I did not like the effect they had on my head when I was jogging. They created pressure in my ear canal that was highly annoying.
That said, they're decent and comfortable ear buds for other uses. |

I just got some Bose iE2 headphones and purchased a Fiio 3 amplifier off of Amazon for $7. So far the best in ear headphones I have ever heard.

mark up is tremendous. I bought my girlfriend a set for Christmas for 1/2 off using Apple discount. She has the cans though, not the buds and honestly they do sound very nice. Worth the 120 bucks I spent? I dunno as I haven't really compared them to others but still not a terrible deal for my price. 299? Hell no.
