Yeah, the QC15 sounds like a good choice for your father. Either that or the Sennheiser PCX450?

I'm a fan of the Soundmaagic PL50s ($52 shipped from mp4nation).

I'm interested too. I'm located in USA East coast.    IEM Experience:   Westone UM2 Westone 1 (currently own) Shure Se530 Shure SCL4 / E4C (currently own) Shure E2C Apple Dual Driver IEMs (currently own) Etymotic ER6 Altec Lansing im716 Sound Magic PL30 Jbuds J2  ...

Nuforce NE-6? Available for $34 right now.   http://www.amazon.com/NuForce-NE-6-earphones-NE-7M-without/dp/B002OR6OFW/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1296013305&sr=1-2

Yeah focalprice was a mess. My order sat there for like three days. After I asked about it, they told me they couldn't ship it and would refund me. Three days later they seemed confused when I asked where my refund was, and asked why I wanted to cancel. =(.

You can read through this thread: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f103/a...market-418220/ Most people report that the ones they got are genuine. With the iphone and iphone 3g, the remote clicker will work fine, but the volume control won't work. The ADDIEM remote button is far superior to the...

Those sold out really quickly. Like 2 hours after it was posted on Slickdeals.

I would recommend the Apple Dual Drivers over either of them. They're available for only $30-$40 on ebay. Out of those 2 I would recommend the Nuforce. You should know that a lot of people don't like the stock tips on the Nuforce, so you may have to buy tips for them.

I'm the latest ADDIEM convert. I originally ordered the new SoundMagic PL-50 from Focalprice, but they canceled my order. Paid $30 shipped on Ebay from Gamernation. They appear genuine (and if they're not, they sound fantastic for fakes). The IEMs themselves are in great condition, but the...

Well Focalprice cancelled my order. Dealperfect has them in stock now for $50 shipped, but I decided to spend my money on the Apple dual drivers instead. Can't beat $30 shipped from ebay.

WHY DID I BUY THESE?!?! I already own 3 pairs of IEMs. >_<. Damn you head-fi.
