Just out of curiosity, but why would you want to spend up to $160 on something so insignificant? You can get a decent set for a lot less than that, like the $50 range.

I bought these under recommendation from RS, MEElectronics M6 Stylish Sound-Isolating Sports Earphones (Clear)

Skullcandy Smokin' Buds Review | Headphones | CNET UK

funny it says in the review the sound quality aint good, i actually found them pretty decent and it was affordable and cheap. If you want to spend more, ofcourse that's up to you , i chose to not though because i always seem to lose them

look through head-fi forums
go to headphone bar

that's the general consensus if you want legit advice

you should also state if you want ridic bass for your gangsta rap or want sound quality/clarity

How are they doing for you? Fit was one of the issues I had at the start, but once I positioned the memory wire correctly, it was heaven.

Try a pair of JVC Marshmallows for $30 or less and then see what sounds better and whats a better value.

It lacks a bit in bass. The left side fits loose, so external noise creeps in a bit. The right side is perfectly snug. In general, I don't regret the purchase.

by the way, what music do you listen to and what kind of preferences do you have for playback (eg. more bass, treble, etc)? each brand/model has a different sound profile.
