I've tried many different earbuds, all different brands, and I now realize that the only brand that is any good is Sony. Almost all Sony earbuds I try sound way better than any other brand, even more expensive ones.
| That is the first time I've ever heard that.
Everyone mentioned most either canal or IEM's. Check out the yuin pk3 or ok3 if you want a true ear bud. Decently priced and they'll most likely throw in an amp for free. I'm selling my westone UM1 and Ety ER 6 if you are interested.

after reading some comments on rfd, people are saying it took roughly 2 weeks after order. If that holds true my pair should be arriving soon .

I've owned the bose in ear, Shure SE 110, and the Sennheiser PX-100 in the past 2 years and i have to say if you're looking for noise cancellation Shure is the way to go. I got mine for about 70$USD on some site. Shure headphones are definitely more well-rounded in terms of sound quality, servicing, etc. The bose are nice+awesome sound quality too but def not worth the money ( cost me about 100bucks CAD ). I bought the sennheiser PX100 on boxing day for 30$. Best deal everrrrrr.

The sound quality is really good, but the headphones have little to no isolation. And yes they are over-priced. Nice amount of bass, the reason i'm still using them is because I love the way they fit. I've tried the sennheiser's and I ordered them as a backup, for 25~$ you cant go wrong. By all means if you want the bose IEM's give them a shot. They usually go for $99 every week or so at either Futureshop or BestBuy

Bose sound quality is amazing. If you're the person that doesn't break/lose their headphones often, go for the bose in ear. Otherwise get the cheaper sennheiser.

I have the e2c's (now discontinued) and they're pretty good for the price. Paid about $60 about 4-5 years ago and still going strong. Their after sales support is excellent too. My brother (who wears his for 10-14 hours a day) has had the cable plastic crack on his has sent his back 3 times (it seems to crack when exposed to long periods of cold which harden the plastic) and each time, they've sent him back a new pair - even though it's been probably 5 years since he's bough the original pair.
The only thing I didn't like about the Shures - the standard ear foams they provide didn't fit me as well. I ended up buying a seperate set of silicone ear foam pieces (that's not part of the standard set they provide) to get a good fit.
Also, for those who like booming bass on their music - the Shures are a lot more neutral so you're not going to get the boomy pounding bass some other headphones provide.
As for OP - shipping from US usually takes 10-15 business days in my experience. Give it a few more days and it should get here. | |

Bose is atrocious for the price you pay but someone has to pay for the marketing. Comply foam tips>bose fit
The ep630 is an affordable solution as are the marsh

^ I love the "bose fit". The foam tips dont seem to want to fit my ears.
100% agree on the pricing, its ridiculously over inflated.
for $100+ you can get far better sound quality.
Monster Turbine IEM's are amazing if anybody is looking for a good pair of buds.
... and yes I know monster may make overpriced cables but these earbuds are pretty solid. Check out reviews @ head-fi or cnet.
