Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I have been happy with the Sennheiser MX270, which would fall at the low-end of your budget. They're comfortable and give a decent sound, but would not stay in place if you were being very active or working out. I have been using my set for about 2 years, usually while programming or traveling.
On a related note.... You should specify what you will be doing while wearing the earbuds, and if you require other features like external volume control, native interface to the iPod, etc.
