Codename "hammer" or "Axe 2" is the earphone.

Cresyn (formerly known as Leemax) is a Korean earphone/headphone manufacturer, and they make some very nice earphones. The hammer produces very clean sound.

I had the original "Axe" (AXE555) which looks like this:

You can see where the name "Axe" came from...

Anyhow, you should check out their new top model LMX-E700:

Specifications
DRIVER UNIT: Diameter 16mm
Cord Length: 0.5m
Impedance: 16¥Ø
Sensitivity: Max 110dB/mW at 1KHz
Frequency Response: 8~27,000Hz
Rated Input: 10mW
Maximum Input Power: 50mW
Weight: g (except Cord)
Input Connection: 3.5mm Stereo Gold Plug

In Korea, these are priced in the same range as the Sony E888s. Surprising, since they're domestic and still are priced in the same range ($40~$50) as an imported top-of-the-line Sony. In the Korean forums, They have been reviewed to produce a par or even better sound than the E888s and the B&O A8s. Sadly, you can't get these in the US but I'll be going back to Korea this summer and I'll definately be getting myself one.

I'll post my impressions once I get them, and perhaps if they're really good I can bring some back for some of you.

They have the remote-friendly short cord also!

and they made these too

Ummmm.. Rio bundle earphones....

 

[doobooloo]

Yup.

Not just Rio but bundles for numerous other portables...

But yeah, the E700 should be a real kick-butt pair of earphones though... unlike the cheapo bundle earphones...

Hey what's with the interchagable casing in the pic? Or am I just dreaming... I like the box though, looks real classy!

 

[swalker]

yes, these DO come with interchangable plastic cover thingies
