How come only Sony and a few no-namers make vertical headphones (the kind that go into your ear and has a band around your head)? Is it because Sennheiser and AKG think their earbuds are too easy to mod onto a band to bother? It's a big hit for me because most open-air earbuds fall out all...

I'd just get the EP630. They sound fine to me and are a good deal for $30. As for the CX300s, anyday, I'd spend the extra cash to get something from a dealer with positive remarks. Besides, the EP630 and CX300 are very similar 'phones.

PX100s don't isolate.

Consider an SR-60.

Bought them July 2006. Not sure if they were new or old, but they sounded muddy.
