Sound Quality
EarFun Air
I know prices vary by region. I have gotten good sound from the Earfun earbuds. I have the Earfun Air, and the Earfun Air Pro 2 have very good sound as do Earfun Free Pro 2.
Etymotic Research ER2XR
.. Personally, @ under 150$ mark newer chi-fi iems are more well tuned and have better technical performance than most cheap full-sized headphones (like K371 and HE-X4 for example).
Durability
EarFun Air
From the shipping process to receiving. Received headphones 2 days in advanced. I was currently in the market for a pair of new headphones when these came on my radar and have been throughly impressed. I do work in construction and the headphones are really durable and so is the charging case
Etymotic Research ER2XR
(Harman neutral tuning, cables replaceable but with a little more emphasis on the low end. Stable, popular option.)
Fit
EarFun Air
Volume however is no problem, they can crank the dB's. Passive noise cancelation is decent when the ear pieces are fit snug although talking with one or both in my ears (when audio off) produces a reverberating echo in that ear(s). Touch control is about 80% successful for me, usually not registering one of my taps. Auto-pause/play on removal/insertion is about 50/50 although I'm working on making sure I'm "doing it right" as you have to snug it in and give it a twist although sometimes it works by just taking it out and putting it in
Etymotic Research ER2XR
If you like the fit, Etymotic Research ER2XR is a great option. Also Shure SE215 and Mee Audio Pinnacle P1 are also great IEMs.
