    Device:
    2G iPod touch
    Type (In ear/Ear bud/Circumaural/Supra-aural): Ear bud is 1st choice
    Budget: $80-$100 USD, maybe slightly more
    Musical preference (What do you listen to?): Modern Jazz Quartet: The Golden Striker, Ottmar Liebert: Reaching Out 2 U
    Headphones preference (Quite bassy, detailed, warm, bright, forward mids etc...): clarity in mid-tones, rich bass tones, transients do not drop-out
    Any other details: good "imaging" of the instruments spatially - what is that called now?

    Is there Bluetooth for these specifications?

    Thank you.

    Device:
    iPod touch
    Type: in-ear
    Budget $50-$100 USD
    Musical Preference: Acoustic and rock. Dispatch, State Radio, RHCP, Audioslave, Incubus
    Headphones preference: rich/warm bass, detailed mids/highs, not tinny but not overpoweringly bassy.
    Other details: Noise canceling/sealing (but I guess all IEMs do that), durable I guess, available in US

    I might be too greedy for my price range, but my last pair was a pair of Shures that had deccent highs but lacked bass. I got used to them, but now I'm left with one working earphone.

    I'm pretty sure the drivers in a good pair of Shures wouldn't just kick out like that. Consider a weekend recabling job. :)
