ATH IM02 is a pretty good choice for that price range!

Audio-Technica ATH-IM02 or the RHA MA750i. Feel free to audition them first in stores. :s12:

Hello :)

My girlfriend is using a Denon previously bought at Stereo (I think it's AH-C452 or something, can't remember and she lost the box)

I'm going to bring her down to audition for a new pair of IEMs. Her music genre is quite wide. Her playlist consists of dance tracks and things like Ed Sheeren.

My budget is around $150. She prefers earphones that can easily be worn (she thinks my SE215 is difficult to put on), but I think if the sound is good enough she might forgo the "hassle" so I won't rule out the over-ear ones etc.

What are the good choices for that price range?

Thank you :)

You guys can check out JVC FX-T100 and Sennheiser Momentum In-Ear. She can audition first the demo sets to check which one will suit best for her liking.

Check out the JVC FX-T100, Sennheiser Momentum In-Ear and Fischer Audio Tandem. AUdition units are available in both stores and so as to know existing promotions as well. ;)

Can anyone recommend bluetooth headphones for going to the gym/running with? Mustn't be too big like typical on-ears. Sound quality needn't be very good. Budget $50 and below. Not sure if it exists tho. :s8:

You can consider the JVC and Audio-Technica sports earphones which the person can use both for casual listening to music or while having outdoor activities. The models are sweat-resistant and can withstand vigorous activities. Check them out in stores. :s12:
