So I hear these balanced armature (BA) headphones are pretty freakin sweet.  Is there an entry level pair that doesn't cost $300?
 
I adore the Klipsch x10i headphones, but I just don't have $200-300 to spend on them right now, anyone else know any BA alternatives?

The Shures are BA. (SE315 and above)
The Etymotics are BA (hf5 and above)
The UE Triple Fi is a pretty popular BA for $170 ish

etc

The Etymotic HF(2,3,5) is pretty darn good. It costs about $110-$150
