I'd agree, but comfort is an issue with these, as we do not hear with our tongues like the Alpha Centaurians,

Amazon.com: Stereo Earbud Headphone Earphone for Apple iPod touch: Electronics
These are very obviously the absolute best you can buy. Most definitely the best bang for your buck possible. I mean, it's impossible to complain, they are unbeatable value. They make noise, what else can you ask for? $300, pff, nothing beats these. Not even the JH-13. You could buy 110000 of these for the price of the JH-13. Now that's value.

Mine are only 1c, that should provide better value.
It makes me laugh that I actually had a pair of those, they came with my iPod after it was sent in for out of warranty repair through Future Shop.
I was going to take a picture of me rocking out to them through my fancy DIY tube amp but I can't find them - I probably cut the cord and used it to tie something up.

III. And my fellow member made a sign and forsook those buds, for he felt his own ears dirty and undeserving to receive the miraculous transducer. To sully that white with his unkempt auricles, he would not.

IV. And I took those buds, and verily I did place them on my person, and miraculous sound burst forth: a keening, a wailing of a thousand beasts, some indescribable sensation of noise that flowed throughout my very being for seeming eternities.

V: And all the beasts of the land and all the fish of the sea, the hairy apes in the cities, the faceless engineers in Cupertino, they fell to their knees - for they shall have no other earbuds before them, and all sound was rendered obsolete unless transmitted through these harbingers of sound and melody.

VI: And lo did the house of Head Fi tremble, and the walls crack and the threads shake, and verily did the search button fail, for no searching was necessary. The beasts of land and sea and air had their answer, and it was Good.

VII: And those infidels, who continued to blaspheme, those with their Etymotics and their Sennhesiers, so sure of their Shures, so ready to consort with the HiFiMan, to practice the dark arts of Audio Technica, rendered insensible from the isolation of their biflanges, THEY WERE IN ONE SWEEP DESTROYED: crushed under the weight of the ruins of Head Fi, as if eardrums crushed by Monster Beats by Dr Dre.




Hope that answers your question, OP.

Thanks for the entertainment. I thought at the end of the post there was going to be the JH-13, only to read on to find ...nothing.
Great Tho.

Best in what way?
* Sound quality?
* Price?
* Build quality?
* Design?
* Customer support?
* Availability?
* ...
* Or any combination of the above?

Anyway, I suspect you can not go wrong with a JH-13 Pro
