AKG K 318
AKG K 319

Sennheiser MX 460

oh and it would be better if you recommend me on of these ones since i live in the country where amazon will not ship some products to.

Late reply, so I wonder which one you picked up. You probably searched Head Fi and found these two threads?

You cannot go wrong with Yuin's PK3 and PK2. Otherwise I would recommend AKG K319 of the ones you mention. You can find Yuin earbuds on Ebay. Yuin's PK2 & PK3 earbuds are not the most detailed, but they have a very lush and nice sound. The AKG 319 sounds a bit dry compared to the PK2, but I suppose it's because it's more transparent.

If you are willing to pay more for better sound, I'd recommend the dicontinued Sennheiser MX980 or the new model MX985. Great sounding earbuds that unfortunately don't have the best fit for those with smaller ears...
