Hi all,
I was hoping to get advice on a nice pair of (relatively cheap) backup earbuds before my headphones come in. I plan on ordering the FA-003, but I heard that takes super long to ship, so I'd like something to tide me over until then. I don't know much about earbuds/iems (been lurking on the full-sized headphones forum all this time). Did a brief search here, but it looks like most reviews are on higher-end iems. The only common recommendation for cheap earbuds seems to be the KSC75. Does anyone have any other recs? I listen to r&b/vocals/live/acapella from portables (for now). Comfort is a big issue...I think I must have smallish ears or something, b/c my current skullcandy ones aren't staying in, although I suppose it's not as big a deal since they're meant to be backups. I'd prefer it stay around $20 or less, but $30's okay too.
Any help or pointers greatly appreciated!
