Need New IEM's

My iBeats that came with my HTC Rezound recently broke, and I'm a mix of too lazy and too irritated with how small the connectors are to solder on a new 3.5mm jack (again). So, I'm looking for some new in-ear earbuds. I don't want to go back to using the Razer Moray's, the IEM's I previously used before acquiring the iBeats as I want to try something new. I would prefer a more "balanced" listening experience , but some extra bass isn't bad.

Budget: <$80 USD (less is preferred)

Use: General music listening or video watching on the HTC Rezound. Will not be using w/ PC.

Accessories: Inline microphone (preferred, but not required), inline track control (required).

Thanks a lot guys.

iOS user, there are control buttons that wont work on certian Android devices. If your device has a 3.5mm jack, the headphones should playback such as with any other 3.5 mm headphones/iem's/oeh/younameit, e.g play sound through the headphones. But take note that the volume up and down, and switch/pause/fourward/backward - track could potentinally not work with some android devices.

Thanks for all the quick responses. Will the Klipsch S4i's be fully compatible with my phone (HTC Rezound)? I've read around and it seems to be a "some android phones work, some don't" or it "might work" kind of thing.
This is usually more music player dependant that device dependant when it comes to Android phones. It's as just a safe a bet as any other earphones with in line controls.
