Does anyone own Koss KEB70 earbuds?

I've been looking for a decent pair of earbuds recently. Low budget, I don't want to spend that much. NCIX has a sale right now, and these Koss KEB70 earbuds are heavily discounted.

Does anyone own a pair? I can't find a single review for them. I don't know how similar they are to the Koss KEB79 earbuds, which have been getting mixed reviews.

I just purchased this through NCIX too.
My Sony EX series earphone died and I was looking for a replacement.
Because my budget was $40-50, I was searching for a bargain so that I can buy over $100 earphone with my budget.
Last week's special from NCIX had KEB79 at 70% off, but its huge mute button turned me off.

I have found one review from Korea.
Review
Basically the reviewer says that it has powerful bass and tight high.
It seems that Koss calibrated the color of sound for all music types rather than having a unique color which is good for certain types of music.
The solid aluminum is a little heavy, but seems to give a solidness.
The things the reviewer didn't like are the heaviness of bass, shiny shell and fitting issue to his ear.

I don't see how this is CA$130 when US MSRP is 80.
However at CA$40, I think this should be a good buy.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I don't know about DrawninwarD, but I needed noise isolating canalphones.

I can live without noise canceling earbuds, but would prefer them.

Also, I have never heard of PK3.

Thanks a lot for posting the review. A small review I managed to find also commented on the tight fit. The reviewer basically said that if the earbuds fit in your ear, they're good. But if they don't fit too well, which might happen, then the quality of sound isn't as good and you can't feel the bass very well. When are you expecting them to be delivered?

I pick it up today.
It fits very well with the smallest plug.
The sound is nice.
It sounds a lot like my near-field reference monitor, meaning very flat and clear.
Voice is more prevailing than instruments though.
I like it.
