Yup in that order.
Well I agree with Dsnuts that it deserves the Golden Nut, and the sound is way superior for the price point. It's definitely equal to the S2 technically (I haven't really A/Bed them yet to say which is better to my ears). As good or better than the M200? Nah, I don't hear that yet.Not far behind but not equal. I'm about to A/B those two to make sure, but I know the bass is superior in the M200 (and the bass in the 750 is excellent). If we're going by price, I might have to agree that the 750 is the best bang for the buck so far this year (especially since I paid under $100 for it).
Then again, I think the EM8513 Cardas is the best bang for the buck in top tier that I I've heard.
Looks like either Brainwavz S1 http://www.head-fi.org/t/681503/brainwavz-s1-fortune-favors-the-bold#post_9801122 or the now discontinued Monster Gratitudes for a bit more. http://www.amazon.com/Monster-Gratitude-Headphones-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B0057X4TWA/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1380513163&sr=1-1&keywords=monster+gratitude
They cost $120.. Negative. Too expensive, you can buy 6 pairs of Philips SHE3590 and another 6 pairs of the MP8320!
They have one of the best performance for price.. Negative.. I like my Bass to hover over all the tunes. Always. Funk o trunk is always the way to go!
They have wicked detail for single dynamic.. Negative. Who needs pin point accuracy in your sound. I like my sound kinda sloppy.
They are balanced like no other.. Big negative..I am all about bass and no treble.
They are built with stainless steel.. Negative. These won't break as easily as lets say something built with plastic? I need an excuse to buy more iems when they break.
They come with a real nice case and a grip of nice tips.. Negative.. I only like proprietary tips that KEF put out. Those are winners and only 3 pairs in different sizes so I can only use one pair if they fit.
They are very easy to drive.. Double negative. I want my earphones to only sound good while hooked up to my NFB-5 at home..
Don't buy this iem. It is full of negatives. They won the GOLDEN NUT award? What the hell is that anyway.!!
Time to update the rankings in your sig
Is this in response to the best under $50 question? Even better than the VSonic VSD1/VSD1S and Zero Audio Carbo Basso/Tenore?

These Gratitudes had an MSRP of over $200. They are being liquidated and I have read way more positives on the sound than anything negative. In fact I haven't read any negatives here at headfi. So with that being said. Guys that want a deal.. Here it is.

Those Gratitudes are tempting but my recent purchase of the MA750 won me over to where I feel I don't need another. That is until word of the XBA-H3 comes around. I hope those do end up being Sony's best ever..Can't wait to read some impressions on those.
Dunu's sound interesting. It is cool that they have tuning rings.
Yeah, those sonys are quite a temptation. hopefully they are VEEERY refined and less bassy version ox my XB90EX, with better soundstage, resolution, details, speed, instrument separation and everything, really...
