I'm looking for cheap, but not terrible, earbuds to use with a mobile phone (Nokia e63). Main use would be to play music. I'd use this walking outside, so I'd like to be able to hear traffic to some extent.
The Ultimate Ears MetroFi 200v would seem perfect, especially at $25, but I worry they'd isolate too much to be safe.
The output stage of the e63 seems to be 16 ohms and every 32 ohm or higher phones I've tried have sounded hissy. Phones with inline resistance (mic or volume control) don't hiss.
