alright, been trying the new sony's and i'm actually rather intrigued by the xba-1. seriously considering that as my next pair! 

i'm glad someone talks about the 1! i've very roughly tried the 1,3 and 4 and i'm afraid the 1 interests me the most!   Quote:  

how do these compare with the grado gr8?

thanks for your advice! however i must admit after reading the thread http://www.head-fi.org/t/577712/yamaha-eph-100/150 the yamaha eph-100 sounds very attractive as well - from the posts it doesn't sound very much like the pfe admittedly but does sound like the gr8.   too many choices and...

any...um...suggestions? i mean i CAN buy the pfe's again, but i'm just wondering if there's anything else that's worth tryingout~

Quote: oh......thanks anyway!!

silly question : if i really like the phonak audeo pfe with grey filters and the grado gr8 would i like this?

Actually I'm not in US so that price is just a reference, but something that costs vaguely similar to phonak audeo pfe (original) or grado's gr8 would be fine.   i'm rubbish at using the "audiophile language" so i'll just mention my preference in earphones i've previously used.   what am...

Quote: thanks for the suggestion, money isn't the biggest problem but as i said, no in-ears please 

Quote: It's ok, as i said the budget really isn't too much of a problem - the main problem is finding a pair of decent (read: better than apple's ibuds) earphones (non in-ears) with microphone that works with iphone! :P

    Quote: Thanks man! budget is roughly us$50, but that really isn't the most important point - the point is i can't find any that matches her requirements! yes i was thinking of these as well but i know she would much rather have the whole thing as one instead of earphones +...

Hi all,   My friend just asked me for suggestions for earphones with microphones for her iPhone. She did specify she doesn't want In-Ears so I literally am lost - All I can think of are the original Apple earphones which are complete crap.   Can anyone help me out?   Many Thanks!
