They're $6.98 currently. Cheapest since $4.97

 
Thanks, you must be the only person who checks that link more often than I do!  Got a couple spares.
 
I still think the MT-300 is an outstanding IEM deal at $4.97, still a superb 9.5/10 value at $6.98, and a definite "buy" at $9.99.   At $20+ on fleabay and amazon US... not so much.  I feel at $20-$30 there is indeed a lot of great competition, including the MH1C, which to be fair has an MSRP of $80, and now has a going rate of over $40 on th'Bay.
 
eg. I had a lot of fun in my Citroen DS4 rental car last week, but it was no Porsche Boxster, and certainly no Aston  (psst... the MH1C is the Boxster)

Just picked up a pair for $6.98 + tax, a great little sounding IEM once you get them to fit. I put the big tips on and got a good seal with quite a bit of bass. I just love these cheap Amazing finds!

Oh gawd the master troll moved over here.
 
Must. flame. sfwalcer.
 
(generally agree though. Looking at other IEMs as the MT300 has that horribad treble and the driver flex like no tomorrow)

I never experienced driver flex with these MT-300s esp with the MH1Cs tip, it seals great in fact. Double HA!

Cmon dudes! Horribad treble? Harsh.. And driver flex? I've never experienced it with the mt300's (R1's definitely). I guess I just got a magical pair :)

Need I bring out the dusty clown gifs...?
 
MH1C would explain it. I ran out so Hybrids only. So annoying and loud.

Yep horribad treble. Didn't really care because of the godly bass but it is what it is.
Maybe the ceramics will have less horribad and more horrigood.

Forget those bandwagon jumpers WAYNE, i got yo' back on this. Nah it's not "Horribad" they trippin'.................................... it's just meh. LoL
 
Yeppp, never experienced driver flex on these as well, maybe i just got a half magical broken pair.

I agree that the treble is just meh. I didn't expect this much from a five dollar IEM though

. Overall, I would say I like the sound signature and they're perfect for what i use them for which is work (they take a lot of abuse). Comfort-wise? They're one of the most comfortable i've owned and i've even used their tips for other IEMs. I don't get driver flex as well unless I push them in real deep. I don't have to since I get a good seal with shallow insertion.
