Honestly its been awhile since I heard those things, didn't really leave much of an impression.  I feel pretty confident saying the $40-$50 Brainwavz M1 will dominate those things.

I would also  double check on the dates of those comments and the experience of the users who made them because I see much better options now like the

RE0s

RE-Zeros

FA SB/FA Eterna

RE03/M2

Etymotic MC5

x2 on M1s

Clieos and Joker reviewed the RE0s and they can be considered professionals with IEM review/comparisons. I have owned them twice and didn't have issues in either one. If you want really good build thought, you can consider the MC5s/M1s and Eternas from the ones I mentioned.

I had the SCL4's and RE0's -- sold them both.  I am in the minority here in the land of RE0 mania, but I liked the SCL4 better.  Not quite as good in the clarity department, but still reasonably good, and much better bass than the RE0.  I think $99 is an excellent deal for them, provided you can get a good fit.

I like it more than M2, RE0. Mine is E4C (the old name) does not bug me, I don't know why I can't wear other two for a long period of time. $99 sounds like a good deal, as long as it is in retailer package; if it is earphones only, two possibility I know: it can be fake, or some leftover when Shure changed their manufacturer (even this is a hearsay, take it as an entertainment.)

The deal was from guitar center I believe so it will be in one of those stupid impossible to open plastic packaging where you probably cut yourself before opening them.

I don't think they are bad at $99 and even better at $60 or so. They aren't for me and I hated their cables both memory and splitting. Their isolation is great although not quite Etymotic level and their sound was good but not for me. I came from the RE0 or ER6i (can't remember which but most likely ER6i) and I remember the bass was the first thing I noticed that was different among them in a good way.
