I have the Sony XBA-1 and like it very much. I paid $25 for it. I am wondering if there are any BA IEMs that are much better and under $50? The Sony XBA-C10 is under $50 now, although it is probably only slightly better than the XBA-1. The Meelectronics A151 is inexpensive, however the newer A161 seems much more expensive now. Which others am I missing? Any much better than the XBA-1? Sony's later single balanced armature earphones like the XBA-10 and XBA-100 seem to be well over $50 now. Is the XBA-100 really much better than the XBA-1? Sony makes a big deal about its brass housing on the XBA-100, as if it is gold and not brass.
