My EP-630 decided to give up on me. So i need a new pair of in-earphones asap. I have no problem going in for ep-630 again but i m thinking if there are other options available too.
In-Earphones needed. Budget 2k.

washed in the machine, came under chair and rat had bit its wire... this all happened in aweek, so they gave up on me. but they served me well for more than 3.5 years of their existence. 
2K is big amount a little more spending of 400-500 and you can get senheisser model .......(I do not remeber its model no)
my friend bought it and said it is nice. He tested my ep630 and said something about treble being bette in senheisser one otherwise ep630 being very good.
I have bought a second piece of ep630 in 750 bucks a few months back here in Bangalore, so price performance is high for ep630

@acewin hmm.. could u tell me from where u bought it in bangalore? i was planning to buy sennheiser cx 180 but at croma its price was 1490 which i found steep. Croma always marks the price way higher. Will be going to forum mall on saturday to buy from imagine or landmark. i m presently in indranagar 100 ft road and dont want to go very far away from there. Your friend must have bought cx300 that retails for around 2500. i cant go above 2000 since i have to buy samsung wave too. Also can u tell me from where i can get the best price for mobiles.
@rhitwick i m unable to find soundmagic in bangalore

I had bought it from SP road, I guess shop named Golcha(this is a nice shop) or Premier Computers or maybe someother shop do not remeber now
shwetanshu you are not able to find Soundmagic because you are checking at places like Croma, again you can find Soundmagic in SP road very easily.

yes you are right it is CX 300, and Croma or any other place you will find them in MRP not less or more. In Bangalore, I do not think you get best price anywhere, most of the places you will find prices moreover same. Though you can check in Croma(I am guessing this Croma is the new showroom opposite Lifestyle), Univercell e-Zone or Mobile Stores.
Mobile Store or Univercell may offer 2 year warranty for SE, Samsung and LG which is nice. I have bought twice from Mobile Store. Remember you will not get best price at single place, some models may have lesser price some little more, not even general mobile shops, and atmost the price difference will come out to be 100 or 200 or so.
My advice is look for offers like exchange(if you want to do mobile exchange, if you want to go for mobile exchange then you may get nice differences in different shops) or extended warranty (generally from companies you get only one year warranty, these shop offer one year extra)

Democracy is a myth
and
U r not able to find it because u r looking at the wrong places.
As acewin already told where to search, try Golcha, one week back one of friend has bought Soundmagic PL-30 from them.
SP Road is the place for you.

hmmm... will go on a weekend... how to reach there?? i m at indranagar 100ft road near domlur flyover...
i had ep 630 and it lasted just a year i was very disappointed coz it never gave me satisfying quality while it lasted...recently i bought sony -ex36lp from croma in eva mall costing 990 and it was gr8...it also fitted nicely and it would never come off even while jogging.... a kind of luxury i did not get while putting the ep630s on...i dont how this sony ex36lp is, compared to the costlier senhiesser models....if if had a budget around 2k i would have bought the klipsch image audio S2...this in ear earphone has unmatched quality better than all the sound magic,senheisser and other models...and its noise cancelling is excellent... you wont be able to hear any traffic noise even when you just put them on without music....you can buy those online in lynx-india.com
I read that head direct also has some good stuff,what do you guys say?
Also, I recently got the HD201, and i am pretty sad with the SQ,i am looking for some decent IEMs but at a much lower range (about Rs500-600), what options do I have? really sorry for thread Hijack, but since a few here spoke about IEMs in that range i asked here itself.

@shwetanshu, you get direct bus to city market from domlur flyover, get down one stop before city market at the turning opposite Town Hall. If you are anyway confused go to the last stop i.e. city market from there you can walk down and go inside to sp road.
one more thing it is closed over sunday so do not try to go that day.

@Shynash21, you must be a big audiophile to say that LOL, I have heard ex36lp, my experience was not that drastic. yeah if it is klipsch then certainly you can say it is very nice, it is written in the name and it certainly has one of the best design. audio quality I cannot say have not heard them, but if it is just design and comfort PL50 will not disappoint, but price is what matters. Sound Magic
PL50 price is little on higher side, PL30 is in range
@rajan1311, its your own perspective, I am not a big audiophile so cannot comment on HD201 sound quality, I am a philips headsets' fanboy for only one reason comfortability(I love those big and comfortable earcups),
I have been often recommended soundmagic IEM, but IMO if you are not big of a audiophile ep630 in 750 bucks or less is cool

@rajan, a lot of static ?? what does that mean.
I use earphone/headsets for watching movie, not into listening music
I like ep630's loudness, clarity and noise isolation which works really well. Rest I never tweaked sound settings for bass treble keeping it to default and never had a problem with ep630. anyone like you guys who have more knowledge can actually test it. And if you want can check mine, I live in Koramangala first block

brah I am certainly getting my leaves, in the whole year when you take it once
there is another shop before it Premiere Computers and one more but I do not remeber its name.
at Golcha many a times they do not try checking with the dealers if they do not have stock of something, direct away say no
