$50-100 earbuds recommendation

IBIubbleTea

So I have been developing this skin problem near my ears caused wearing headphones. For one to counter this problem, I'm going to need earbuds. My budget is $50-100CAD or USD depending. I would prefer if you guys could give me a list of earbuds within $50 to $100. Also for sound signature, I like some bass but not overwhelming bass. 

 

Thanks.

I really LOVE these: http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-RPHJE120K-In-Ear-Headphone-Black/dp/B003EM8008

bought them twice.... I tend to set things down and walk away... Like all my hopes and dreams.

THIS IS MY SUPER TEENY TINY SIGNATURE!

Ain't it just the cutest little signature.

Some would argue it is the cutest little signature ever.

Buddy, it's okay. I may or may not be in the same boat as you. ):

VSonic has nice offerings. I've got the VSD1S myself, but heard good things about the 3. They tend to have "some bass but not overwhelming bass"  :)

NVX EX10S They are rebranded VSonic GR06's for $30 less, and extra tips. I actually now prefer to use these than most of my other over ear headphones.

They come with comply tips too. Also, they have pivoting ear tips which will practically fit anyone plus all the ear tips they provide. (15 including the comply ones) wowzers :^]

They are technically "ComfortMax" tips and not Comply tips, they are very similar though.

The IM50 is my recommendation, it has good enough bass that it should satisfy general consumer

Ear pods are actually respectable. Not the best OP could get, but if someone needs non-isolating ear buds there's few better choices.

My vote goes to the Ostry KC06 or KC06A.  They're both pretty similar, and at about $10 more, you might as well go with the A model.

 

 Bass is definitely present, but doesn't take over the sound signature by any means.  Detail reproduction is stellar for the price.

The other pair of IEMs I have are the HiFiMan RE-400's.  They're definitely light on the bass, though, so they're probably not for everyone, but the mids and treble really are pretty interesting.
