Thanks for all the advice. I ended up getting the JVC HA-S680 at biccamera for 5000ish yen. For some reason their shop price is different from their website retail price of 4200ish yen. I dont speak Japanese so I cant ask them. Anyways I am really happy with the purchase and the shopping...

I'll be traveling to Kyoto in a few days. I will probably visit yodobashi and bic camera shop for headphones. What are the sort of headphones to buy while in Japan. My budget is around 100-300 dollars so sadly no Stax. I heard Sony and Akg are cheaper in Japan? I have ety4s and used to own...

HI!!!

Thanks for the generosities. I have got etys for ages but would be nice to have a handy iem to serve use during my daily commute. etys just give me too much cord microphonics. Those CK100 looks nice.... 

I have got an old rockboxed iriver h120 player. How do the sony players sound compared to it?

Happy new year! Thanks for the interesting giveaway and congrats to you 1500 posts! Afterall you can only do this once.

I like bperboy too. But I am no MJ!

hmm, so I guess it's still not too late for me to enter. I want one just to try it out because I never tried an AKG phone. I got senn 650 and ety4 though, so I guess if I win, I can try it and then give it to my brother.
