earphones are pretty roughed up by everyone. I got a small pouch with my latest and 6th pair of IEMs. They seem to do a good job of protecting the earphones and fit well in jeans too (well almost). After losing a few earphones its not too bad to carry a pouch. My Brainwavz M1

If you can then try getting the Sennheiser CX180 for 1400bucks. They are the best I have heard till now. I bought two of them, one for myself and another for a friend.

EP-630 are all bass. If you want to enjoy music you could have got Soundmagic PL-21 for around 600-700. Meelectronics M2P will be great too. I personally have a PL-30 and they are great but a little too weak on bass. I recently gifted my sister an M2P and they sounded rich and amazing. And they had awesome build quality. Even the cable seemed to be made of some kind of cloth with a transparent plastic layer on it. they cost around 900-950 bucks or less.
BTW, what are your initial review of the EP-630?

i agree the bass is abit imbalanced but after 8 hrs of pink noise burn-in they are perfect i think the sound much better i would rate it 3.75/5

@guru: You will be the happiest with PL-11. It has plenty of bass and still has better clarity than EP-630. And I sincerely believe that if you plan to use something for months and years you should not worry about 100-150 bucks. How would you feel if you hear your friends PL-11 and realize that they are far better than your EP 630 but you didn't get them because you wanted to save 100 bucks. Rather I would say go for the PL-21. They are recommended even over the costlier PL-30.

marshmellows shouldn't be more than 500 or around that. 950 is just too much.

Note: For those late to this thread, marshmellows are IEMs not confectioneries :-D
