i think sennheiser are always overpriced . i haven't heard cx180 but heard cx300 and cx400. they are good but way to much overpriced.

Personally didn't liked Sony MDR-EX35LP , sounded muddy to me .

if you prefer clear sound then try philips shs 9700 or Soundmagic PL30. if you prefer heavy bass you can get the sonys.

i also have EP630 ( and PL30 ) . philips 9700 is by far one of the best i've heard , better than cx300 , so i guess it should be better than cx180. philips are very good value for money , at this budget its definitely better than senn and sony . creative have more bass less clarity .koss i haven't heard .

I have a Sennheiser CX-180 Street II model. The sound quality and ambience is good. Better than an EPx30. In Sony, try getting MDR EX-76LP. Its better than 35LP. Never used a Koss one. Sennheiser gives 2 year warranty on its products while creative and sony comes with no warranty support. My CX-180 is having a problem and need to send for repair :(

i am also looking for new earphones. i had sony mdr-ex35lp but they stopped working as the chord broke internally due to stretching, anyways now i am looking for some different earphone(its not that i didn't liked 35lp just wanna try something different)

after reading posts i am confused b/w Philips and Sennheiser.
