The Deals DISCUSSION Thread (READ THE FIRST POST!!!)
Any thoughts about the UE350 for about $16.99 + shipping from Groupon? Would the mic work with an IPhone? Are they any good for non-audiophile use? ...- jonandabby

The IEM/Portable Headphones Deal Alerts Thread - Closed! Use the Deals Thread III instead.
Don't see this anywhere in a search of the forums, so I'm both posting the deal and asking for thoughts on whether it is a decent set for use on a train. WWStereo.com offers a pair of Sennheiser CX 280 Stereo Earphones (Black) for $16.50 when you apply promotional code SD280X at checkout...- jonandabby

I'll add another link as a possibility. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004PEIGPS/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?t=slickdeals&tag=slickdeals&ascsubtag=yvqLDK3FEeK-E6b68wo-pA0_2qHX3_0_0_0&ie=UTF8&psc=1 $6 seems to be too cheap to be reasonably good, but they originally sell for $20, so...- jonandabby

Sound Isolating Earphones for $50 or so
I'm trying to stay away from IEM's, actually (using the definitions here). I've tried a couple for comfort, not sound, and find it distracting to walk around with them shoved in my ear. I like the earbud style better, knowing that the isolation won't be as good. The S4 was almost good enough...- jonandabby

I'm a bit nervous about buying earbuds from Ebay. I hear lots about fakes there....- jonandabby

The reviews I've read say that sound isolation is only average.- jonandabby

Sound Isolating Earphones for $50 or so
I do most of my listening on an Ipod on a commuter train or subway. I typically listen to podcasts and music that won't particularly stretch a decent set of earphones (e.g. rock but not the crazy thumping bass hairband kind). For a few years, I used Senn CX300's, but they kept breaking. I...- jonandabby

I'm in the US. The DUNU Trident doesn't seem to be available readily here, the write-up on the E10 suggests it is more bassy than I need (I listen on a train to podcasts and rock (mostly) so bass isn't as much of a concern as the mid-range), the GR02 is 50% more than the discounted CX495 price...- jonandabby

Does anyone know about the Sennheiser CX495? It is on sale through today at newegg for $29.95 after the promo code. I used CX300's for a while, and then moved to Klipsch s4's (which I just broke). http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826106554- jonandabby

Commuter IEM recommendation (under $100)
I recently lost my CX-400 (Mk1) earphones on the train, so I'm looking to start over.... I use my Ipod mostly on the train. It is used about 50% of the time for movies on a laptop, and the rest is split between music and podcasts. I'm not willing to spend more than 100, mostly because I keep...- jonandabby

cx300 v. MDR-EX81 v. RP-HJE70
NO ONE has any ideas? Assume I'm dropping the Sony and replacing it with the Panasonic. In reading this and other forums, it looks like the order is: 1) Panasonic RP-HJE70 2) Sennheiser cx300 3) Super.fi 3 4) Panasonic RP-HJE50 Is this about right?- jonandabby
