Hey mate, ever heard of the bose sie2? I think they're awesome for a budget of 5k, because they're designed for sports. If you're into over-ear types, let me know :)

Don't you think On-Ear are a little uncomfy for sports? My friend gave me the beats by dre studios that i took to the gym. They seemed very uncomfortable, but decent sounding. Nothing special. What problem i found was the sweat getting into the drivers because my ears tend to sweat a lot while working out, and it simply isn't a good idea to have them on while working out. If you are laying on your back, they'll definitely fall off. Maybe what you need is a close-fit in-ears, which won't move while working out.

The sie2 can be bought at 6,638. Other than that, you may also go for cx680's although as per what i read, they are not the best in terms of fit and comfort and sound, ofcourse. You can get them within your buidget

We know portapro's worth, don't we? ;)
BUT, sadly, its not available here atm.

PX100II is the only option he has, its nearly as good a portapro and also comfortable as well: Sennheiser PX 100 II Wired Headphone Earphone Sennheiser Natural Sound Reproduct | eBay

Also HD419 fits his budget as well: Sennheiser HD 419 Headphones With 2 year Manufacture Warranty | eBay

Also I suggest to stay way from Bose, they are overpriced for their worth.

No no no, sportapro is cr@p, portapro is the best, read some reviews, its one of the oldest headphone designs ever and still continues to this day.

Portapro is not available in India, so don't get those as you won't get warranty. Senn will give warranty.

HD419: Better isolation, but not that comfortable.
PX100II: Relative poor isolation(will be hard to hear when you are in public transport, or a large fan is spinning in your room), but better sound quality and comfort.

Take your pick.

For headphones/IEMs that go with jogging you need over the ear type or clip on, Soudmagic E30 or PL30 would do for you.

Any other? Soundmagic is not so recognized a brand I guess.. Hearing it for the first time... Any other heard companies? I was really digging the idea of platronics 930 the wireless one... Wireless takes care of that pesky cable...
