I'll hijack this thread for my own purposes now. What should I buy for $100 or less to use on an airplane? I'm thinking that it needs to be an IEM (canal phone or what-have-you), but am open.
Priorities for me:
* Price < $100 and lower is better since I may not like them
* excellent isolation (main use is plane)
* comfort for small ears (first-time IEM'er)
* even sound / not bassy
* not 'fatiguing' / good soundstage
* no microphonics - I hate that on my Sennheiser buds in cold weather
I have been thinking about:
* ER-6i
* super.fi.3
* Sony Fontopia MDR-EX71SLA
* budget choices JVC marshmallow or the one up
* Creative EP-630
* Shure something
* IM716 (although I don't like seeing that volume control)
Recommendations?
