I own a pair of CX 495 IEM's, along with a variety of other earbuds and IEM's, and I can say that the CX 495 have earned a solid place among other headphones costing many times their price.  I got my CX 495's from a Newegg sale...

I'm using the Brainwavz M2 with a HiSoundAudio Studio (the model name) DAP, and a mini-rig with a Nationite S-Flo2 and RSA P-51 Mustang hooked together with a Zynsonix VRay Prime mini-to-mini IC.  It took about 40 hours of...
