Looking for the best set of in-ear headphones I can get under $100. Any recommendations? Btw, these aren't for DJing; just plain ole listening to mah music.

Anyone?
SkullCandys are good I used to hate that brand but I bought a pair and Ive had them more than a month so far. Get the model with the flat wire for about $20.

Ended up getting a pair of the Panasonic RP-HJE120-K. Been reading tons of reviews and these kept popping up. $7. Boom!
For IEMs, the dual driver versions are a noticeable step up from the others. They are also in the $200-$500 price range.
For working out, running, anything where hearing outside noises might be needed, I like the earbud style where there is NOT a seal between the speaker and my ear. Sony has some that wrap around your ear. These are good for working out, running, treadmills, etc. If you can find a pair that fit you and they will really hang on.
For when I want to listen to music without the background noise, the "earplug" style work well for me. Most have several sizes of foam plugs for the end...that's handy for getting a good fit. I have used JBL, Sony, and others. My current set have a mic and can be used with my phone on calls. That's handy given how I use the earplugs.
For DJing, I want a formal IEM or over the ear headphones.

They're for my Christmas gift. I was going to ask for the Beats by Dre in-ear ones (I know, I know), but I read terrible reviews on em. So I saved my significant other the hassle/money and bought those Panasonics.
SkullCandy Chops with Foam Tips are always in my bag.

I used to have a pair of $70 etymotics that I REALLY liked. Unfortunately, they don't make them anymore, and the replacements kind of suck.
I'm firmly in the "no midrange crap" camp when it comes to sound....I either buy cheap or buy nice. With that in mind, I've been using cheap skull candy things. They're not as good as the etymotics, but they're a couple years old and cost like $9.
If I bought better ones, I'd probably be looking at se315s first and head over to head-fi for reviews.

I'm really surprised at the Skull Candy love in here...
Sounds like they are actually good value for money after all...?
