I did mention previously that the s4 are cheaper than the beats/x10. However, I decided to compare them because they were said to be almost as good for bass and better for mids/highs, which they are definitely not. For the x10s, I own a pair for over 2 years and am very pleased with the build quality and sound, which led me to believe that the s4i could possibly be better than the beats (for mids/highs). Sadly again, they are not.
There are a couple of under $100 (some even with apple remote/mic) earphones which sound great so its not surprising at all that the s4 do. Its good that you got a deal on the s4, at that price, they are well worth it (just like my $40 ex76) but at ~$120+ for the remote version, sorry, there are better options like the scorches.
Guess its all comes down to personal preference, after leaving them on for another 10+ hrs, the bass and mids still splatter all over the place when pushed.

make sure you try all the ear tips.. im coming from shure SE310 and the tours rape the shit out of them in terms of bass. im not even using the full bass eq on my player and its like listening to my z-2300 speakers subwoofer

S4i wire quality definitely isn't as good as the monsters, but that's what you're paying 60-80% more for, packaging, the bass is a different type of bass, IMO the tours can't match the S4s for clarity.
Need a suggestion for a good earphone with a mic/control talk etc, for my new iphone 4, don't feel like paying twice as much as I did for my S4's for the S4i lol, they are really comfortable though
Not sure if in-ear is good for me, I hate feeling every single step I take through my earphones and every bump on the wire travels to your ears as well, maybe I'll just use my stock apple ones :/

This eliminates most of the microphonics, if not all.

I'm thinking of ordering a set of v-moda vibe duos from ebay, need a set of earphones for talking on the phone, hella annoying when someone calls and i'm listening to music. Heard these were best bang for the buck. They are only about $30 from ebay, downsides are that there are no buttons for answering phone  but the kevlar reinforced wire I've read is really good and easily untangled
Any other suggestions? the price is good but I don't know if it'll be annoying not to have the button
I'm also considering the vibe ii's

Having tried out so many, I think the best bang for the buck are these:
http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATH-ANC7-ATHANC7-Noise-cancelling-Headphones/dp/B000OMKR8E
I've got few headsets from Audio Technica and they're definately better than the Seinheisser or Bose headsets.

you can see if where ever they bought it will let you return or see if they have a price guarantee thing going on for their policies. Quote:
The source has the white Beats by Dr. Dre Studio headphones for $219.99 (web find, so its online but they ship to the store for free).
Here is the link:
http://www.thesource.ca/estore/produ...roduct=3314412
I just price-matched them today at FS and got them for $207.98 (should have been $206.98 but I didn't care to argue for a dollar).
It's $143 off so I couldn't resist.

If you can find them for $7 like I paid for mine, JVC Marshmallows (FX-33). Else, I've had Senn CX-400s that I found for $30 (genuine) that were amazing for the price, but I've since fucked them up and have gone back to Marshmallows before I drop some coin on a higher end set of IEMs. Can't really speak for any other IEMs as I havent tried any others... oh other than some Skullcandy Smokin' Buds that sucked major balls. The higher JVX FX-xx models would also probably be worth looking into.

The CX-400 was bought through amazon.com for ~$35 shipped to Blaine, but I don't remember the seller... but they were definitely real as I checked my unit out against the pics in the threads on fakes at head-fi and anythingbutipod. I think there's been a revision lately (CX400 II) and those are going for >$50 online. Quote:

I've only read amazing things about them, but I've always been hesitant to drop $150 for them. But now that my HST credit came in, I'm willing to splurge haha.
BTW, this thread has really diverged from "Noise cancelling headphones" haha. Perhaps the thread title should be changed to something more appropriate?

| Shipping is $5.95 and apparently Canada post ends up delivering it so maybe taxes maybe not! Check it out: http://www.jr.com/panasonic/pe/PAN_RPHJE900/
I have a pair of Sennheiser noise canceling headphones, but I could never get used to the humming it produces to cancel the ambient noise.
