I've bought the Cowon EM1 three times and non of them lasted more than 4 months. Yes the sound is great and that is why I buy it everytime but not this time. They just stop working. First in one earpiece and by the time you try to understand what just happened, the second one is gone too. The Cowon EK2 did last me for more than 2 years though till they got wet in the rain and stopped working.

but recently I tested Shure SRH440 and SONY MDR-7506..
man i was blown away by Shure SRH440 (it has very balanced Bass & Treble)
so, any other headphones in same price range which can compete with it ?
I'll probably buy one day..though I already own Sennheiser HD-203

i lost my Skullcandy Ink'd 2.0 recently, which was my first branded purchase of earphones. It was definitely miles ahead of what i had earlier used.
I purchased 'JBL T100A In Ear Earphone With Mic'. Received it today. First thought:
1. Voice clarity is even better than Ink'd 2.0 even at higher volume.
2. Wire and Built quality is grt.
3. Noise is very low for this price.
Need to use more to check for all variations and Bass and other things.
Cons:
1. Low Volume much lower than Ink'd 2.
I got it for under 500 only. Used the first order coupon and another one for 60rs off to get this low.
SO grt deal for it.

just now received JBL T100A. Man the bass is like 30 out of 100. Or I received faulty product? The headsets i received with Moto E2 have more bass than these. How is the bass in real? if its like boom boom then I will have to return these. I checked in Moto E2 and on laptop(Whistle by Flo Rida). Bass is significantly low and treble is high. I am not an audiophile, wish someone could check these for me
I should have ordered Cowon EM1
What now?
Well i found my T100A to be great! Bass is infact little less than the Ink'd 2.0. But the overall voice clarity is much much better and noise reduction is better. After using it for days, the sound output has improved now. I wont rate the Bass as 30, around 60-70 for it.
Even that is good.

Those who have KZ Ate, post short review. Also, were a pair of ear-hooks included with them?

A comparison with CX 180 would be appreciated.

^ Get them. ATE are imo the best IEM ive used. Used ES18, Piston 2, ED10, XB50. ATE just sounds punchier and richer. But i cant use them for long sessions. The earphones are comfortable but the sound kinda pierces too much. But for short sessions they are great.
PS: I bought em twice. First time came with ear hooks but the comply tips were shorter for ATE and used to hurt my ears. Second time no hooks but the comply tips were longer and fit properly.

Samson SR850: One hell of a headphone. Costs just 3K. But mind blowing clarity.

I have MDR-XB30EX and been using for the last 2yrs and still working excellent (Build quality is much much better than Sound Magic).
and also the Bass....
No idea about ATH

I bought SR850 for Rs 1775, there was a 2 pack variant costing Rs 2,550..
Best Headphone for the price IMO

Even I'm inclined towards sony. Is xb30 comfortable for long use?
And there are also a variant called XB50AP. It's kinda 300rs more. So which shud I prefer xb30 or xb50?
Any idea of sound difference and comfort?

Do you have any other better alternative other than sr850? It's had to come by and a bit more pricey these days?

I got a XB50AP and they get quite uncomfortable after long usage. Sound is clear even with the thumping bass.
