Thanks for the thread link, but it appears quite a few of those have been discontinued. I probably would have got the Sennheiser MX985 had they still been in production.   Does anyone have any up to date recommendations?

So I have had a pair of Sony MDR-E10LP earbuds for about four years now. They have some alright sound despite the cheapness. But since the right earbud finally decided to go bust, I've decided I need a new pair of buds. Problem is that earbuds have been so heavily replaced by the in-ear style...

Hmm. Is there a perfered type of sleeve that the people here can vouch for? I'd rather know what I'm getting. XD

lol Funny coincidence, today I got Sony MDR-E10LP earphones in the mail from my sisters. They're actually pretty good despite the small crackling when the music is loud, and I'm hearing things I haven't heard in these songs before. Anyway, is anyone able to get measurements of the mx980's? I...

Anyone know of a nice steampunky watch that looks good on a girls wrist? XD

I wonder, does anyone have like a measurement of the mx980's buds? In what way are they considered so huge?

Ahhh... They're 192$ on amazon. in my opinion it's best to go on sennheiser's site and find a proper seller. Unless you can find reviews about that site or people that have brought form them, and check their returns policy, etc.

I know those are the ie8i's being described but this is a topic on fake ie8's  that might help. http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/457420/warning-fake-ie8s-comparison-pictures-included

The picture is of the cx980's, but the cx is retail at 250$ so no idea on that one.

Ahhh.. But I bet the mx471 don't hold a candle to the mx980 in quality.. *Insert upset at sennheiser pouty face here*

I see. But yeah, anyone here have MX 980's and small ears? D=

Ahh. What about my wallet? o.o

If you read the first page you will see my reasoning for not getting IEMs, you shouldn't just try and convert me to them. Plus, the people here believe you can get good bass on earbuds.   So anyway, does anyone with small ears own a pair of mx980s and think they're okay?

Ahh, Calipilot, I'm looking for earbuds, not IEM's.

XD I'm not worried about being let down by them, I'm worried about them not fitting my ears at all :P

Hmmm... Now I'm wondering about the OMX's and IE range, but I wear glasses sometimes, and have a weird behind ear shape so things that go behind my ears never sit comfortablly.

Quote: Ahh, I didn't see that they were bass light, missed that. Nah, I know what you mean, I'm a total bass-head myself. Just that I'm tossing over whether to buy the 980's because I've heard they're pretty uncomfortable for people with small ears.  

Yeah, I checked it, both the 9wave and the MX980 seem great, but the 9wave don't seem very accessible to buy at the moment. Do you know when companies usually bring out new stock? I don't want to end up spending a great deal of money on something just to find out it gets a better brother a month...

Oh, sorry for the double post. But I just looked over this (http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/492165/sennheiser-mx-series-vs-yuin-pk-series-6-earbuds-compared-and-reviewed) review Sennheiser MX vs Yuin PK series, and the MX won out. I kinda have small ears, though *ish short* so dunno if...

Quote:   Ahhh. Sorry if it came out wrong. See, I tend to have whatever I'm listening to in my pocket, so what happens is the place where there's that bit of plastic to protect the bottom of the wires (the bit that plugs into things) seems to be I guess, "weakened" by being connected to...

Okay, so I absolutely love music in every way, and I love hearing a nice crystal clear bassline on any genre. I'm also an absolute nerd when it comes to games, movies and tv shows. I love to hear stuff, seriously and that's why it's so important to me to get a perfect pair of earphones. So two...
