I am looking for a new pair of earbuds and the selection is giving me problems.

First, I hear that http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16826159208 are good. Second I also hear that the Sennheiser ones are good for the price. Now here are a few links. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16826106311, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16826106400, and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16826106397

The difference I see in the Sennheisers are the Input Impedances. What exactly is this and is more better? Need some information because I want what will sound best for the price.

Theoretically the higher impedence might be better as this would allow for a smaller current to produce a bigger voltage drop.

The Sony ones have extra bloated bass, and will certainly break on you (they are also not really normal buds). As to the Senns...

Maybe the 400?

The low impedance could make bass rolloff pretty obvious. I'd really go for KSC75, but if you want buds, I guess the MX400 should do pretty well.
