vsonic vc02 is available through "ebay" and "hifinage" at a price of around 3K.
I am thinking about these.

If you hear a sibilance in CX300 then VC02 is a no-go for you. VC02 is a king of sibilance imo.

Thanks airomjosh, I am doing my own research. I bought the CX300-II and the Philips SHE3590. The SHE3590 are CRAP!!!!! no mids, some highs and a lot of bass, but not deep bass. It is really annoying. SHE3590 are on par with the new red compliment earbuds of America Airlines.
 
CX300-II retained all the good things from its old version and adds a pouch for just $24. Same good sound, powerful deep bass, fair mids and good not sibilant highs. The immersive sound that I was expecting.
 
Nonetheless I want something better. CX300 was my baseline and now I have some doubts about the other two. I am looking for something better under $100.
 
Thanks

Fischer Audio Eterna. Surprised no one has mentioned them yet.

Sibilance is mainly a recording flaw and a lot of headphones artificially reduce this at the expense of detail. I have listened to the E10 on great recordings and the sound is pure heaven for earphones in that price range.
