Forget about all these, go for Klipsch, those tips can stay in your ear and they are the most comfortable earphones i have used for my sports activities.

Hi guys, beside the Audio Technica IM70 which is indeed a great value iem(we have a 10% discount for August), the JVC FXT90(Aug promo for $168 usual $209) is good for edm and mainstream music as well. Do drop by our stores to try them out ya.:)

Just to clarify, your budget is more than $400? Also, you may use standard iems for sports application but there are also those sports specific iems that are more robust in design. If you are using them for running outdoors, you might need to be able to hear the surroundings(safety) as apposed to running on a treadmill?

How about JVC FX3X, Fischer Audio Consonance V.2 or AKG K350? I have linked our website here for your reference. You can also audition the demo sets in either of our stores. ;)
