In ear headphones $150 or less


I have been reading reviews left and right and they just don’t seem to jive with the real world amazon reviews.
Is a nice pair of in ear headphones just a unicorn?  Should I buy cheap and get over the ear headphones for the same money?  If so I still need nice in ear for sports activities and would like a recommendation.

It is rather frustrating with so many choices and that the reviews on amazon don’t support what the “experts” say.

Are there any that experts and end users actually agree on?
Thanks guys. I am checking out the headfi thread. I guess I need IEMs. I did not know the terminology. I prefer to use comply foam tips. I am a cyclist and when out in the wild they reduce wind noise drastically and at home they reduce kid noise drastically :)

Also, I have no clue how people get earbuds to even remotely stay in.  They just fall out of my ears.
Thanks Ncarv and spankedmonkey.  I saw the Klipsch at my local hifi ($200) and I will listen to them.  I will also check out the Etymotics
