Blox M2C are out of stock right now and it's really hard to find a pair for sale on here because there's so little of them in circulation.  I still want a pair :/

The Sennheiser MX580 at around $25 is excellent. The Sennheiser MX880 is a bit better, but over $50 in the US, although in some parts of Europe it is under $50.

The only earbuds(not an IEM) with a braided cord that I have seen is the Crossroads HR-1. I think it is well over $100 if you can find it.

Philips O'Neill SHO4507/28 Covert has a braided cord, it is $23. (It was $49 for a long long time.) (link to Amazon) It is quite durable. Sound wise, it has clarity and bass bump; very good sounding. The old price really killed the popularity; I just order another pair, because the new price.

Paa1 is pleasant sounding. However, both treble and bass roll off; sound stage stretches, mid/vocal can be slightly hollow. For $20, why not. I am puzzled why swbf2cheater rated it high; maybe his taste has changed?
