The stock earbuds that came with my phone stays on just fine, its just that the sound quality is lacking. Hows the ATH CKP300 Can't find reviews =( EDIT: I think Ill get a 2nd hand Shure 215, within budget. Description suits my kinda sound. ATH-CKP300 - Quite bassy for a start but after burn in you will have a balance soundstage. Its IEM not earbud type. Price is around RM180 in the market.
