Bookmarked those tips, had been planning on trying the triple flanges out and bought a set of those when I got the other.

Have to see how these work the others are cheap enough would be a no brainer to try em out if I don't like em I guess.

Looks a good deal, I had been looking into the triple flanged ones and missed those.

The flanges showed as a gift item so that works out well there I guess.

You're very welcome! 🙂

Around the $100 price point, I use the Shure SE215 IEMs and they're killer (I use them for both music performances for onstage monitoring, as well as my daily commute on the train, and they're great for both).

I second the pair of Shure Earbuds. They are LEGIT. Noise cancelling though so keep that in mind so you don't get run over by a bus.
 
LG Tone Ultra...SOOO nice not having to deal w/ cords while riding the bike...SOOO nice. Oh yes, they sound fine to my ears. Well worth the $75 or so IMO. Noise cancellation does nothing for me, but there's plenty of low end for a bud.

I wish they came with something to hold the cable though. It's not that I haven't found stuff to manage it, but still. The cable is damn near 6' long. They do sound awesome though.

For cheapo ones, I have a pair of Sony's that do the job.
 
Bought a pair of these just because of the reviews.

Have a guy at work might buy the M2's off me cheap, but gonna try both at first 🙂

Frig they shipped, didn't realize must have been straight from China or Asia at any rate have a one month expected delivery date.

Will maybe arrive about the birthday at least I guess 😛
 
All of our ears use some kind of Sennheiser for music, Plantronics for headsets. Buds are MX or CX series, cheap and just fine quality with no boosted frequencies.
 
You're probably not going to like this, but the best earbuds I have yet used came with my Galaxy S4. I know Samsung didn't make them, but they are more comfortable and have better fidelity than any I yet bought. Granted, I've never spent more than $40 for a pair, but they really are nice. I was completely surprised, as I always considered buds that came with a phone as throw aways.
 
I really haven't bought that many myself, the M2's we're the first higher end set I'd purchased and was pretty impressed.

Have had a few people with higher end ones listen to em and were pretty impressed, some of these newer ones in the 50-60 dollar range are pretty killer.

I'll find out when they arrive, they on a slow boat from China, literally 🙂

You just reminded me I have S4 headphones in the box which I never used and forgot about.
Time to try them out.
