In the latest (4/2006) well-known german Video magazine (reference for video equipment) there is an article about the headphones for portable devices which includes the test of in-ear phones. They tested Shure E4C, Ultimate Ears Superfi 5 Pro, Creative EP-630, Sennheiser CX300, Sony MDR EX 71 and Koss Spark Plug.
The results published were following:
1. Sennheiser CX 300 - 65 points (53 for sound + 12 mechanic)
2. Ultimate Ears Superfi 5 Pro - 64 (49, 15)
3. Creative EP 630 - 63 (51, 12)
4. Shure E4C - 63 (49, 15)
5. Sony MDR EX 71 - 63 (50, 13)
6. Koss Spark Plug - 59 (47, 12)
Sennheisers were awarded as Testwinner with the best sound and Creative as Purchase Tip. What's even more wierd is that the far more expensive (5x) Shures and UE's got the worst sound points.
