thanks for the replies... i just did a quick search on amazon and the c551's are $140 lol (im from england so we have to pay premium) any more suggestions? edit: are the c351's a big jump from the cx300's?

I just lost my cx300's somehow, i think on holiday, and i need new headphones, i would like something better than the cx300's for 100$ or less and i would like them to be the same size or similar, a few of my friends have some IEMs but theyre huge and look ugly when theyre in your ear (sorry if...

in england the white ones from amazon are £20 so £15 is a gd resale price i thkn the cx300s are great for their price and they do have their drawbacks, but you cant expect much more for their price and they are aimed at the ibud users...they are a huge upgrade from them they take time...

Ive been using the cx 300's for a few months now and theyre a HUGE step up from the normal earbuds you get, but the highs are too high and not clear or defined enough in my opinion...otherwise the rest is ok and i cant complain really as theyre only £20! i listen to hip hop and RNB...

i got the white ones from amazon...theres no difference between the colours right? and theyre a huuuge step up from ipod headphones...

ah ok thanks and ill try the largest ones

how do i tell what mids/highs/lows are? is it just their pitch? and what about treble and things like that?

thnx...yeah i like them A LOT more now...they are waaay better than standard iphones

interesting...ive alwyas thought headphones sound better than speakers

do they need burn in?

ok thnx i just put the medium ones in and the base has doubled compared to when i have the small ones in...this is beginning to get annoying...but adictive

they sound good but im not convinced yet... do they need a burn in? and what is it? and how tight should the fit be? small ones easily insert and seem quite sturdy and the medium ones are a bit harder to put in but they go in and i havent bothered using the big ones... but isolation is...

yeah but i guess u gotta trust people having clean ears...
