Looking for some suggestions for in-ear headphones for my iRiver h10. Looking for sound quality and comfort.

Not looking to spend more than $200
 
Low end Shure or Etymotic Research if you're willing to spend that much ($75-150).

Sony EX71 or EX51 are good budget choices.

You do mean canals right not earbuds?

Well if you're willing to spend $200 you can move up the Shure/Ety line a little.

If you can stretch to $250 the low impedance ER-4P would be my choice.

I'd grab that then.

Get the cable adapter to turn it into an ER-4S as well (for use when low impedance isn't a desirable quality).

Should be able to do both for around $200.
