Im going to have to agree here as well.  I would say a tier below the Cardas, but in the conversation with the W4, 4.Ai, etc (by memory).  Of course fit will be an issue for some.

I have to, once again, say that CDJapan is a great company. I literally have $20 in frequent shopper points after just one purchase. That's like getting the ATH-IM70 for $98 instead of $118.

"Octa-Drive" sounds pretty interesting, but they look like rebranded Yahama Pro300 with a new headband. They're actually $79.99 on Amazon.

I knew the Rosewill Headphone looked familiar.
 
It is a wired version of the Bluedio R, aka Monoprice Premium headsets.

Power numbers, driver count, ohm, all the same. I had the Bluedio and they are extremely bass heavy, with lacking mids, and poor highs. Shame.

Time for me to join Audiophiles Anonymous, headphone division...received another iem today, rbh EP1. Trouble is, I have a vague memory of ordering it. Must have been something I saw here or on the Deals Thread (when I can find the Deals Thread, I hear they are now on Deals Thread #200). Thing is, these are really nice sounding out of the box-nice rich mids, wide stage, good highs (sl accentuated, but I don't mind those, not obnoxious). Vocals really rich on Caitlin Cary and Thad Cockrell. I tend to like headphones that give good, rich body and texture to vocals and instruments, this one seems to hit the mark on my initial listening. Gonna have to push the hph-200 off the burn in ipod and give this some burn in next.

think I posted the sale of RBH EP1. I was curious about its sound since it was highly rated at wirecutter. I would have gotten it if I didn't already have too much earphones and a cruise coming up. Sounds like a winner at the$100 price point. Would you say it's still worth it at original price of ~$150?
