Relatively cheap IEMs for the holidays...

I was referring to the ER6, not ER6i. Like I said I think I may not have got a good seal on those, but they sounded rather crappy when I was testing them out.

Why not test the ATH-CK7s too? I think they're a pretty decent set, and I paid a lot less for them than either a Super.fi 3 or an ER6.

Looking at Amazon, the ATH-CK7s are more expesive than both the Supers and the Etys...
I think I'm leaning towards the Super.Fis. A couple questions... for super.fi 3 studio users, have you tried wearing them in the "modified" position (Ultimate Ears - super.fi MOD)- just wondering, this looks more natural/comfortable. Also, is there a difference between the super.fi 3 Lives that radioshack sells and the regular 3 studios, other than the color?

One other model to throw out there for you guys- the Shure SE110s- they're a little more, but Amazon seems to be discounting them pretty heavily right now (they run anywhere from 65-85 bucks, with the prices seemingly changing every day). Are these worth the extra money? How does their sound compare to the UEs?

I wear super.fi 3 with the mod, and the fit is light years better for me than it was in the original position, if it wasn't for the mod I probably would've returned them since I just could not get a good fit at all in my left ear and seal is everything with these.

Hey everybody, the holidays are coming quick, and my old Sony Fontopia buds are starting to look a little long in the tooth. Last time I posted here you convinced me to pick up some Senn PX100s- which I LOVE- but now I need some IEMs, as my open PX100s don't isolate much at all when I travel.

I'm looking for some IEMs that are $80 or under. I listen to mostly rock and derivatives of rock, in addition to some electronica. My source is a Zune 30. I've been looking at some Super.Fi 3s, Etymotic ER-6is, or some V-Moda Vibes.

Anything I'm leaving out? What are the differences between these models? Personal suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
B-DIZZLE
