Default Need a suggestion for headphones for my G/F

So my girlfriend decided she wants some better headphones and i wasnt sure what would be the best bet for her.

She wants in ear style but ones ones that have the hooks that hook over the back of your ear (she says the regular in ear ones fall out so she wants the ones that hook behind your ear)

She will be using it with her ipod primarily and they will not be amped.

Would like to stay under $200

suggestions?

Try the Bose IE2 Audio Headphones. It could be the apt choice for hours of music and comfortable on-the-go listening. The thing has a greater greater stability during exercise and other activities. It features Advanced design, durable materials for lasting quality. Everything put together, it could be the apt choice for you.

Knowing which type of music she listens to and which type of sound she likes would help. Buying somewhere you can bring back could also avoid spending that kind of money to be sorry later

As a starter you might want to read this http://www.head-fi.org/t/478568/mult...2#post_6492056

I love you guys. Everytime I'm thinking of something you guys create a thread. I'm kind of in the same boat. I need some headphones that will go in my ears when I mow my lawn. I've been using the ones that came with my iPhone, but they constantly fall out. So I'm thinking in ear that is under $20. Any suggestions?

Ok..focus on the underlined part......That's not a bad thing as they're crap to begin with!

However, I'm not sure if a $20 pair will give you much improvement, unless the only requirement is the "fit".

I basically want something that is going to stay in my ears and not constantly fall out. I've had some folks recommend Skull Candy since they go in the ears and have actual ear buds that fit whatever size your ear is.

I just purchased a pair of Phiaton PS 20 BT headphones.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...pf_rd_i=507846

They are half in the ear style with 4 different sizes to choose from.
There isn't a hook that goes behind the ears, but the fit for me is excellent and very comfortable.
Mine are bluetooth, but they do make ones that require to be physically plugged in too.

Maybe worth checking out.

I've been hearing about Phiaton a lot as of late. Something to check out in the future. Congrats.

I have the Bose IE2 and love them. Bose customer service is very good too. They come with a 3 year warranty. The sound is amazing and the bass sounds very good too. Everything is crisp and clear sounding. They are also very comfortable and stay in very snug so you don't have to worry about them if you're walking or jogging.
