I just received a package from Richard (udeupa) with two pairs of IEM's: the SHA and FISH from Earsquake.  At first glance, they are decent looking earphones.  My SHA's are black and blue, and are held together by a sexy cable.  Both the SHA and FISH have a little plastic piece in the center...

I've checked out |joker|'s review, but he doesn't put them head-to-head.

Can anyone give me a comparison between these two?  I can't seem to find anything on head-fi that directly compares them.

How do the RE2's compare to the Meelectronic M9's?

Any other suggestions besides the M6? I don't like the design of the M6, because I'd like something that would be easy to pop in and out.

I heard there's a wire in the M6, because its over the ear. Will the wire be affected if I just stuffed it into my pocket?

I was looking at |joker|'s thread but there's just too much information. I thought I could get a few suggestions and then start looking up reviews.

So I'm new to the IEM market with about 50 bucks to spend.  $30 would be ideal, but I'm willing to go up to $50.  They'll be mainly for school, because carrying around headphones is tiresome. I'd prefer a bit of bass, but nothing that'll blow my brains out.  I also want something with a nice...

Haha, I'm actually just getting into IEM's/earbuds and just started browsing in this section of head-fi. Anyways, thanks for the giveaway!   -Fingers crossed-

Haha, I'm thinking about investing in some ES7's for myself when I get the chance, but as of now the legit ones seem to be at least 70 dollars. The FW3 seem like the perfect present! I would love to get her the Superlux, but they are towards the end of my price range and the cord length seems...

>< Can we focus on the original topic?

She doesn't like my portapros, she says they're uncomfortable. The PX100's look a bit flimsy and I'm guessing that she wants headphones that are a bit thicker?  She said she really likes how the JVC's looked as well. K81DJ's are a bit out of my range. So for now, the superlux is looking...

The Maxell's look promising, but I'm worried about their build quality. I saw in the other thread about how Amazon reviews aren't the best, but my friend is really bad with taking care of her things. Horrible. Would they stay solid through extreme abuse?

My friend really liked my JVC HAS-700s and begged me to find her a pair of decent headphones for her birthday. Of course, I could just get her a pair of the JVC's, but I was hoping you guys might like to throw out some recommendations. She does not want in-ear/earbuds, which is why I've...
