I read a lot of reviews and it seems its the best at that price range. And I want a mic with Apple controls.
THANKS!
Also, hows the durability?

Keep in mind that headphones are very, very subjective. It's like buying a car. They've all got their own specs, but while one person gets behind the wheel and loves it, another might despise it. Read the reviews, consider the pros and cons, and make the decision that works for you. The Klipsch S4i are very well reviewed, but if you're looking for alternatives, try the sticky at the top of the forum for some additional suggestions. And good luck! BozThanks brah! Really helpful! Though 7/10 for Klipsch S4i? And the reZERO gets a 10, but reviewers in other sites says its good but not that good. Gets busted within a few months.

Personally? If I were to buy a headphone right now I'd go with the Sennheiser adidas PMX 680 (~$60), but that's because I could use them while running. It supposedly has great sound, is durable, and especially great for exercising. There is also a 680i with iPod controls, as well.
Outside the gym, I'd go with the Etymotic MC5, which is quite durable and reads well (meaning both its technical specs and reviews are favorable). No iPod controls, but I've had in-line controls and found that - regardless - I'd end up accessing my MP3 player anyway.

The S4i's are great and my other half has a pair, but personally I prefer my AKG Q350's over them and they retail for around the $70US mark. They are a pretty devisive pair due to the colouring of them (lime green wires) and they do protrude a little so not overly comfy for small ear canals. For me though they fit really nicely. Sound wise, the bass was impactful without getting muddy, the mids warm and the highs crisp and clear without getting shrill. The mic/controller worked as it should, but it was never a buying point for me. They may have had some production issues but my pair just keep moving along. BTW I mainly listen to Metal/Rock/Alt and Jazz.

The MC3(which I thought is an earlier version) got Apple controls. Is the MC5 good for the gym as well? Cuz Ill only buy one, half of the time for gym/jogging, other half for anyday/everyday music and Skype.Thanks man! The green wires look both silly but sexy. I listen to rock too! But what are the production issues? Are they rampant?The S4i's are great and my other half has a pair, but personally I prefer my AKG Q350's over them and they retail for around the $70US mark.

I don't know anyone else with a pair but mine are golden.The S4i's are great and my other half has a pair, but personally I prefer my AKG Q350's over them and they retail for around the $70US mark.
