You can consider looking at House of Marley Uplift and the Moshi Audio Mythro. The latter doesn't has a volume control though but it suits the genre that you're listening to. Also, if you don't mind those without the controls and extending the budget a bit, you can consider the Audio Technica ATH-IM50 which has detachable cables so if anything goes wrong with the cable, you can change it and may cost you less. We also advice to keep in the casing that comes with the earpiece for better protection. :)

Thank you for the advise, doesnt the changing of cables affect the sound quality?

Audio Technica also has their replacement cables, with options of those with microphones as well. Of course, other cables like those Silver ones can change the sound, even improve for that matter, but sound will always be subjective. :)

Any wireless/bluetooth earphone to recommend for running?

Hi! You can check out the new models from Yurbuds and Jabra which are the Inspire Wireless and Rox respectively. I suggest that you try the demo first because they have different fitting, so as to see which one is more comfortable for you especially that you intend to use them for running. Also, you can get the chance to get a free Yurbuds Inspire (worth $59) for every purchase of the Yurbuds Inspire Wireless. :)

Usually, those that has mic and volume control with flat cable are meant to work with Apple products.. If you don't mind with microphone only, you can check out the Moshi Audio Mythro and Urbanears Bagis. Their cables doesn't easily tangle especially when you keep them nicely and we suggest to keep in a pouch or hard casing for better protection. The one that has flat cable within your price range is the aJays 1. You can consider auditioning them first, both our stores has demo sets. :)

Hi! Have you tried any of the Fischer Audio Bullet 6MM, Sennheiser CX300II or the JVC FX3X? For your requirements, you can actually take a look on these three models and have them auditioned in either of our stores. Also, you can get 10% off for the Fischer Audio Bullet within this month of April. :)

Do you guys have any demo sets for the Jaybird Bluebuds X? Any promos? :D
TIA!

Also, any recommendations for IEMs that provide good noise isolation as I'm using it for studying, preferably over-the-ear or sports earphones. Budget 150-200
Then can try all at one go :o

Hi! We do have the demo sets for Jaybird Bluebuds X in both of our stores. Unfortunately, we do not have any promotion for this currently.

For IEMs within your price range, you can consider Shure SE215 SPE which is meant to be worn over the ear and has detachable cables. If you prefer those sweat resistant, you can take a look at Sennheiser OCX685i which you can use for running, for sports or in the gym. You can audition the demo in either of our stores. :)

Hi mopiko_boy! For your requirements, you can consider Fischer Audio Consonance V2, JBL J33i and if you can stretch the budget a bit, you can take a look at Sennheiser MM70i. We advice to keep the earphones in the provided casing for better protection. All these models have built-in microphone so you can answer phone calls, skip tracks and play/ pause the music. Feel free to drop by either of our stores to audition the demos. :)

If you want something with extremely good noise isolation, try Etymotic Research hf5. The noise isolation is from 35-42 db, which is even higher than most earplugs out there. I currently own one and use it daily.
