excellent advise joe,  

hurry up and buy something omnom you have been given plenty of options and theres not much in it, ultimately you are gonna upgrade far sooner than you would like to think.
 
You can keep dragging this on and on for what is possibly the lowest end of the acceptable spectrum (where lots of fun can still be had), im deciding for you, FX101 go buy them now.

Done, I got the wife a FX101 (so she could listen on her computer at the office)  ...music SQ wise, I couldn't tell any difference with my FR201.
But phone calls on the FR201 does not sounds as natural as the SHE8005, you can hear what's been said but it appears to be coming out of a long tube, the SHE8005 however are far behind the FR201 when it comes to music listening.
 
I have found that plugging in a TRS jacked phone which states Ipod compatibility into a later model Android phone does work, whether a mic(TRRS) or non-mic(TRS) version, just watch out for the respective and correct 'headphone with mic' or 'headphone only' icon to appear on the handset and you're good to go.

 
That's aweome! I was going to compare my fx101 with my gf's fr201 whenever she opens them and uses them with her iphone. I'm glad somebody else did it first. hahaha I guess I'll post if I hear any difference.

As a gentleman, you should open them for her (these JVC packaging has been known to turn even the most peace loving folks into stark raving green hulks when they try to get them phones out)
 
Secondly, you are duty-bound to burn them in for her  ...at least 80hrs of it, not to mention QC'ing them to make sure they make the standards.
 
Please share your findings here with us, althought I did not hear any differences, the fact remains that we all hear differently.

bassy phones: SHE8005<FX1X<SHE3580<FX101<CKS77
 
 

OMG!!!!! pause, wait..... I have the cks77 and these things sound great to my ears. Unfortunately I broke them and got a pair or FX1X as a rep, however I have never seen these SHE8005 mentioned before. If you don't mind could you please tell me what they have over the cks77 (or what you favored about them over the 77's?)
Tank you
things just got more interesting.

fx101s are pretty disappointing imo. Barely any more bass than my meeelec m9's and with far worse build quality.
 
edit: ok, it seems like there's more than one version of the fx101. The newer ones don't come with a case and don't have the chrome ring at the ends of the earbuds.
