Seems kind of expensive...would be afraid to bang them up or damage them. Almost as expensive as an ipod mini. Anyone ever try these?

Click add to cart.

FWIW, these are great in-ear phones (professional musicians use these on stage all the time).
They won Stereophile accessory of the year last year, and are praised at www.goodcans.com.
Considering they usually go for $179 (and the cheapest anywhere else is $149), $125 shipped is a great deal.

Thanks OP!

Yeah, I picked these up about 3 weeks ago from eCost. No problems with the order or the phones. They're burned in and sound SO much better than the standard earbuds with my iPod!! Isolation is excellent, too.

E3C is excellent. If you are not sure how you would like in-ear phone, try Sony EX51 $25 at Amazon, it is a very nice sounding and not break your bank. If you can find Sharp MD33, it is also a good choice, $40-$50.

My suggestion, try the cheap one, see how you like it first; Sony EX51 is good enough for lots of people.

I have those sony EX51 and I love 'em for travel/on the go. I'm sure they won't sound as good as the Shure but for $25 bucks I think they are great. THey have several different in-ear molds to attach to one is bound to have a tight seal in your ear. They are also pretty compfy..I fall aspleep with them in sometimes.....
