There are so many options within that budget.I don't think I'll be able to name 'em all but I'll give it a try.
Soundmagic PL series,Creative EP630(I also saw EP830 on ebay.in),Sennheiser CX180...
K..thats all I can for now.If I do recollect a few more I'll post those too.

As ssb1551 said Creative EP630, Sennheiser CX180 and my addition will be Sony EX50LP/ EX35LP. Just try one out of this, too much thinking will confuse you.

ep630 audio quality is very muddy. go for soundmagic pl-21 or pl30. superb audio quality. comes with nice extras like foam earbuds, pouch, earclips etc. total vfm package.

 

[skippednote]

Sound Magic PL30 will do fine. Great Sound Stage plus a punchy bass. You can also go with PL11 + FiiO E3 Amp

 

[ssb1551]

@ bassam - I don't think FiiO E3 Amp comes along with PL11, does it?If one has gotta buy separately, how much does one has to shell out?..Also can it be used with Sennheiser CX180?

Oh and guys was/is there any Creative EP830?

@ssb1551

Yes there is ep830 too. It is supposed to be superior than ep630...
But it think its not VFM earplugs...

 

[azzu]

no creative , 630 ,830 for me coz of too much bass.
Will look for cx180 , pl 21,30 how much does those cost ??
And any personal reviews on philips she 9700 ??

 

[desiibond]

Pl-21 : 800-900
pl-30: 1200-1300

buddy, please! Please don't post just for the sake of posting or saying something.

We are discussing about quality earphones and the OP has handy budget to get eaprhones that gives good amount of audio quality, not some earphones that just play stuff!

If you are aware of really good quality earphones that produce great audio (like PL-30 or MDR-EX35LP), please do share.

I used PL-21 and it is fairly neutral not sure about SHE9700. reviews say it has decent audio quality. PL-30 has adjustable bass which means that you can always control the amount of bass.

check this: REVIEW :SoundMagic PL-21/ MP-21 - Head-Fi.org Community

the reviewer compared PL21 with PL30 on few occassions.

From my experience with PL 11, I can definitely vouch for Soundmagic earphones. Sound quality is amazing for the price. I had to pay just 620 for PL 11 and I'm loving them. I'm also using them with 5230.
for where to buy, if you can't find them in local stores, check theitwares.com
i got it from there. they are offering the lowest price among all online stores.

I ordered a pl30 with them long back. And I gave them my number. They never turned up. You can try ur luck there.
