Hi,


Simply: I need a new pair of buds. Looking for fairly good sound in-ear buds to use with my iPhone and 4G iPod. Thought I may as well get built-in mic & clicker, though it's non-essential, and I would quite like these to last a while. I'm trying to spend around the AUD $100-120 mark.


Here are the main options:

* V-MODA
Vibe Duo (where I'm thinking right now - found from private seller for $110 <well below RRP>, though not sure if I can then recieve warranty cover, and have read mixed reviews)

* Sennheiser
CX300 (RRP $80 - no mic - I've used 2 pairs last two years, they don't seem to last)
MM 50 iP (RRP $100 - pretty much same as above but with mic & small jack)

* Shure
SE110 (RRP $130 - normal audiophile buds)

* Harman Kardon
EP710 (RRP $130 - normal audiophile buds)

* Ultimate Ears
metri.fi 2 (RRP $100 - normal buds)

* Audio Technica
ATH-CK7 (RRP $130 - normal buds)

* Koss
KEB24 (RRP $70 - normal buds)

* VSonic
R02-Pro (RRP $90 - supposedly good buds from maker relatively unknown)


Please tell me what you think of any of these models and provide any advice you're willing to give


Many thanks, Jasper
