I will say, however, that I haven't heard them (as the Crossroads Mylarone X3's are supposedly very similar, but with a weaker build quality...the super fi.'s used to be more). Nylan

NO CROSSROADS.....My crossroads broke down 3 times in just 6 months. I sick of the exchange.... It's already in my bin.

Get the Head-Direct RE2s, which are $80 for Head-Fiers until tomorrow. They are $119 canalphones, and better balanced and warmer than the er6i. I own a pair, and they are very good canalphones for the money. I had the er6i, but the filters cost $$$ to replace, and they are way too small (feel like they are in your head). They are not ear buds. The PK3s are also a great value, if you want an ear bud, at only $50.

Oh, and between the Skullcandy or the Sony phones, the Sonys are clearly the better phone. I have E082s (Euro version of the E85), which come standard with the Sony A816, and they are not bad for OEM.

Anything but Skullcandy and BOSE. So the Sony it will be..

Hey, I wasn't recommending the X3's. I was leaning toward the Ultimate Ears. I know that Crossroads have build quality issues (even though I've never experienced any problems...mostly because I baby the crap out of those 'phones).

If the OP lived in Singapore, it would be a different story.

Hey,

Whatever you do DO NOT BUY SKULLCANDY!! They are horrible sounding. If you want a good cheap pair of earphones get Etymotic or Sennheiser. They are generally the cheapest, best quality ones. I'd reccomend Shure, but I think that could be out of your price range!

I think we've established no Skullcandy. Although the only real in-ears Ive tried are my Ep-630's I would recommend them. I have not heard any of the others mentioned, but I like my 630's for the price.

$21 plus tax on newegg.com. The quality is pretty good, and there is a strong bass. Mids suck and highs are just what the hell, but I dont expect a good deal from a $20 in-ear. For the price, they are a good deal in my books. Light, portable, and they isolate noise very well.

If you are willing to spend a decent amount of money, which it appears your are. Definitely steer away from skull candy. I wouldn't even recommend sony, I really dislike my set. I have Super.fi 3s now and would recommend them, I have also heard good things about the er-6Is too so just go with not skullcandy/sony.
