I picked up my MEElectronic CC51's for 28 bucks on Overstock.com but that was back in December. They rock!
Phillips and MP aren't known for audiophileness or anything but, just like any company they do have good ones. Have you ever tried the recommended phillips or the MP8320's? I agree that the majority of their lines suck but the MP8320 is on there for a reason and the Phillips is as well. You are making a judgement based on brand biased. True, a majority of their lines suck, but are you going to forget or disregard a golden egg because the brand sucks? You can't say you will play it safer by going with Vsnoic or Mee, as those brands have good and bad IEM's or earbuds for teh price and same as Phillips except teh ratio of bad to good is high with phillips and MP.
Yes, check my For Sale threads, those are LONG gone. I jumped on the Hype machine and was let down but at least both only set me back $20.
I've yet to hear one Vsonic that blows..even the cheap GR99 hands a beating to MANY others priced in the same Price range. I wasn't using a Brand Bias, at $30 or under the Philips and MP don't compete with what I listed. If you have $15 yeah maybe they are OK but once you add double the price they get left behind quite easily. Those sound good for their price, sure but you get what you pay for. If you look at the Negs you'll see. Joe says the Philips needs EQ'd-Agreed- Cheap build quality, look at the cord. The MP, The drivers are massive, painful, and the cord..Really? The MP sound like AM radio from a 70's Station Wagon, All Mid Range, with very light Bass and A metallic high end. The Philips are better, with A good Sub-Bass punch with a sucked out mid and pesky highs (V-shaped)...Remember you get what you pay for, If you're broke you grab some Philips off the local Target/Walmart shelve. But the OP has $30 to spend. So there's better.
IMO yeah.
i would have to disagree with that, most of those, no matter how bad in value (beats) do sound better than the $20 sony

Thanks for all the replies guys! I've learned a lot more than I ever expected to! I think I have narrowed it down to either the meepectronics m21, brainwavz beta, or the vsonic gr99. I don't want a V shaped response from my earphone.
Thanks again guys!
PS I would've gone right for the gr06 but I can't find them for sale anywhere.
He could always shoot up to $35 bucks and get the Gr02 and be just as happy, or even more then the Gr06..I prefer the 02's more....

He can do that too. Indeed...I personally just find the fit on the GR02 a bit tedious to fiddle with (I like the sig though). You prefer the GR02 over GR06? Just curious is all.
