Besides the Audio Technica ATH-M50X that I saw you are already considering, you can also check out AKG K550, Sennheiser HD6 and Philips A5 Pro if you can extend the budget a bit.

Feel free to visit us to audition the demo units and check this month's promotion as well on certain models. ;)

Will do so next week, probably. Mind PM-ing me the promos that are in relation to the above mentioned units? Will probably get one of them on the day itself.

The two models you've mentioned are good choices for your requirements however, we still recommend those IEMs made specifically for sports or outdoor activities to be used in such occasions or during exercise. They can withstand light to robust activities and are sweat resistant. Perhaps you can have one dedicated IEM for your daily exercise? :D A lot of them are good and budget friendly. Check out this link bro for the Sports IEM that we have: Sports Earphones
