For my music when i'm out on the trail. Right now im using some Skull candy earbuds, typical i know, but they have good sound quality. I'm looking to spend around 100$ if possible. I've thought about the Skullcandy Aviators which are around 60$ but i just want to know if anyone has any good suggestions, i really like ones with good noise isolation too. Are the Dre Beats really any good?

Beats are horrible. DO NOT BUY. That being said, something like this.

If you want in ear type go for something like the Klipsch S4 or if you can afford it get some Shure SE425 or Bose Quietcomfort series.

over ear Grado's, like the sr-60's, are stupid good, but if you want real good go for the sr-325's

for in ear, I use Shure's top of the line

yeah, high cost. You buy em once, and get them repaired as needed.
And 50% of the cost of Dre's Beats go straight to his pocket for the hype. He says he's a a doctor, but what he really is is just another slick salesman.
Grados > Beats, any model, for over ear phones.

Just don't get beats. Overpriced shit because of the label.

I got these for Christmas and I walk, jog, and run in them without ANY issues and they sound amazing.
I also do strength/cardio training like Crossfit.

I bought those exact headphones in November and they're fantastic. Got them on sale for $80. They're tighter than I'm used to but that tightness really blocks outside noise and helps with bass which these headphones do not "enhance" like other headphones.
If you're a bass-head do not bother with the HD 280 pros. They're for crystal clear audio exactly as the recording sounds, which also means any poor quality mp3s are glaringly poor quality and poor audio cards like onboard audio are made obvious.

I recently got a pair of these...

They are the best headphones I have ever used. Except they are open air so you can hear noise coming in and they let noise out. Also, they have no bass. They sound nice though.
Sometimes you can find them on Amazon for ~$120.
