 Philips SHE 8500 or Soundmagic ES 18 ???

I need to get a pair of eps that could get through for the next 45 days or so .....

I m going to get a VSonic GR07 in mid august as my birth day gift.
I was using a skull candy low rider till now which had an average output ... I bought it for 42 $ a year back when i had no knowledge about other eps/hps... I wish i had known about Vsonic gr02/gr06 back then ....

Anyway focusing on my query >> Now they ve stopped working and i feel very desperate without earphones and i need a pair of earphones for these 45 days ... so i ve decided to go for a budget pair of eps till the GR07 comes to me :D  .... so what had u suggest  Philips SHE 8500 or Soundmagic ES 18  ???

Phillips SHE3580.

 Better than the other choices $10.

I own both the SHE3580 and the ES18, and the ES18 is better to my ears. Smooth and warm sound with ample bass, they sound like 90% of the more expensive E10. The SHE3580 sounds more v-shaped to me with a tendency for peaky/harsh highs sometimes.
