I'm looking for earphones in the 150 AUD (~132 USD) range to replace my breaking apple ones. I'd prefer it to have a mic attached, but that's only for practical reasons. Has anyone got any recommendations?

*I listen to classical music frequently, if that helps with response range.

I dunno tbh, but I saw these the other day and they looked kinda interesting, don't know how good they are as actual headphones though.

Whatever you do, do NOT go back to the default apple ipod earphones.

Yeah, didn't in the end as none had microphones or were too expensive, and sennheisers are more for people who like their bass while sacrificing some high.

Lol, triple armature. I know a store where you can get that for 400 dollars AUD. (Melborune only, PM if you want link)

^^Whoever karmar'd telling me no one sells at RRP, I know that, but they're 500 everywhere else they're 450 - 600 AUD.

You can't say that without doing a little research first to justify yourself - Sennheiser makes dynamic earphones, while etymotic makes armature. In fact, most of Ultimate Ears are armature as well (referring to Cheez). It's a completely different technology.

Armatures tend to give more detail, whereas dynamics are lower price/better bass than single armature earphones (correct me if I'm wrong there).
