Headphone help

I'm looking to purchase a new pair of in-ear headphones (or perhaps ask for a pair for christmas) and I'm looking for a nice pair. I currently use a pair of Sennheiser CX300 (which cost me $100 a few years back) and I'm looking to move up a bit in price and quality. Now as much as I would love a pair of Shure SE530 they're a bit out of my budget. I'm looking for $100-$150 headphones that will pump out some quality sound, but hold up well in an active lifestyle. (I love listening to just one earbud while I'm carving it up on my freeline skates)
I'm looking at the etymotic 6isolator, etymotic hf5, Shure SE110 and SE210, the V-Moda Vibe and vibeII.

any other quality earbuds in this price range would be appreciated, and any reviews that you guys can offer me would be great.

Right now I'm leaning towards the VibeII and the 6isolator.

I love my skullcandy earbuds, only paid $10 for them. Probably not as good as the higher priced ones, but they're the best I've ever had. Comes with 3 different sized ear pieces and they don't hurt your ears.
