I just ordered a pair for a friend from here, which came to £18.33 ($28.59). I'll post once I've received them.

 Great cheers Null, I couldn't find much so was going to stay away but I might as well have a go

LOL! I've done it again....posted a link before buying and now they are gone   Seriously, to do it once is OK, to do it again is plain effin stupid!

I can find some CKM55, anyone have a verdict on them?

I own(ed) a pair of 215s. The CKM50 has quite a bit more bass; mids are might be near equal (with Shure being a tad better, but I don't have the CKM50 burn-in fully to say yet); highs are better and more natural in the ATH. Overall I would give the nod to the CKM50 (without burn-in) over the 215. Vocals are wonderful in the CKM50...

So not only will it work with your phone, you get an adapter that will make your Isurus work with your phone too!

LOL!!!

DAMMIT!!!!!!!!
 

amazon has them at $35 now.  quite honestly, i'll probably try them out for a few weeks then put them on sale if someone is interested.  unless i really like them.  i'll keep you guys posted.  they'll be here tomorrow so i can give them a run out.  it'll be a nice change of pace from what i normally listen to.  i'll post a comparison here if and when i have the time.

If I'm not wrong the CKM55 is the new and improved version of the CKM50, so the CKM55 would be better based on that information?? xD

Yes but the CKM50 can be had for less money and in most cases the improvements in sound are minimal.

Still $35 on Amazon as I type....I'll just keep a browser window open on that page until it drops to a bit over $25 and I'll pull the trigger.

And the CKS55 is the successor to the CKM55.  I've found the CKM55 for £27 and the CKS55 for £30.  Not that I value their opinion much but Whathifi rate both of them highly.  CKS55 looks real fugly though IMO.

i dont think the CKS55 is the successor to the CKM55, the CKS series is the Solid Bass series, if im not mistaken, and the CKM is a whole other series. 

Up to 35$ now. I will try to get me some when the price goes back down. Today is my pay day =)

Amazing! I just got mine and I can safely say that these are everything I hoped the Isurus would have been. I'll update later
