It's been a long time since I've last posted here, but was wondering what people would recommend.  I am looking for new IEMs in the $100 and perhaps $150 price range.  I know it's still on the budget side, but I figure that the extra $50 could change some recommendations, so looking at both...

http://www.buy.com/prod/d_link_nvi_1...4.html#moreimg looks pretty darn close to me.

I saw these on Amazon... they look awfully similar to the EP630 and CX300s. do you think we have another OEM set here? http://www.buy.com/prod/d_link_nvi_1...4.html#moreimg

looks cool, but does the bluetac leak into ear at all?

i just got my ep630's and have been listening for less than an hour. they are okay for the money. they sure arent my mdr-7506s, but not too bad. i tend to agree more with digdub's assessment as i listen. (too late to get the FX55's now!) had i known, i would get the fx55s. the ep630...

is it just me or do the 2 comparisons conflict? btw, the fx55 is much cheaper in white via amazon or buy. i am paying almost 40 for my EP-630s and i could get the fx55 whites for 25

SORRY, forgot the JVCs. So FX55/77 v. EP-630. Any thoughts? I'm leaning toward Creative. (though I am *SO* tempted to get ER-6i's)

Okay, been reading a lot... and these 3 seem to be the top budget IEMs so far as I can tell. (my head is spinning) So... of these 3 (unless ppl have more suggestions), which one is going to get me the most balanced, clear/detailed sound? Flat is good. Is there anything I am missing in...

Okay, the Creatives look nice. Any other suggestions in this price range? Again, looking for a balanced, accurate sound. (I've been doing research and the most I'm considering on spending is for a set of ER-6i's, as ppl seem to think of Etymotics the same way as the 7506--very analytical)...

I haven't really considered IEM's at this point, but it would be primarily for commute purposes. I'm not sure if i like the idea of a set of headphones that create a tight suction within the ear canal. Are there any IEM's that can block out ambient noise to some degree but not so crazy as to...

Looking to buy some budget (cheap) earbuds for my daily commute, so I thought I should ask here. My normal phones: Sony MDR-V7506 (its fraternal twin is the V6) Many of my friends have the HD580 or HD280pro, but I much prefer my cans. I like accuracy in my headphones. Then brightness at the...
