That sucks. I didnt have any problems really. I won the auction on Wednesday of last week, but didnt get any communication from them until Friday. I requested a tracking number for the delivery, but before they could email me the tracking number, the earbuds were in my mailbox. Wasn't too much of a hassle, I thought they shipped pretty quick.
Got a tip for us?

I got a pair of these eBay headphones as well and they arrived today. My initial impressions are good. The sound quality is exceptional, and they fit my ears perfectly (they come with 4 different types of rubber tips to use). Shipping is out of Hong Kong, and it took roughly 11 days for the earphones to arrive.
The only real downside is the speaker cord (which appears to be the same type as the CX300) rubs on your jacket and sends vibrations up the speaker wire and into your ear. I've seen this same complaint with the official Sennheiser CX300 reviews as well, so it isn't only a problem with the eBay units.
Another slight issue, not related to these specific earphones, is that the iPhone and Touch emit a slight "hiss" when used with airtight canal phones. I feared this was only my phone, but a quick search turned up tons of posts both here as well as on the internet. The "hiss" is really only noticeable when the music is paused, but I thought it was worth mentioning.
All in all, the $25 price on these earphones can't be beat.

I'm going to start sounding like a freq fanboy soon but I guess I kind of am at the moment. I got a pair of custom in ear monitors, triple balanced armature for <200. They also make a dual armature (think super.fi 5) for I think 130. After reading extensively on head-fi.org I made the jump and they sound amazing. Better than my triple.fi 10s or ety 4s.

Oh. I got mine made with my own wires, but the default wire fits the iPhone, and if you send them the cable from your earbuds with the inline mic, they make them with those too

Budcase is a neat little product I found on the web that is a keychain earbud holder. Great for keeping up with your earbuds!
I do plan on writing a review soon. Their website: budcase.com

I just grabbed a pair of CX 500's for 70 dollars shipped to the east coast. PM me if you want the website, I've posted it elsewhere and dont want ppl to think im advertising for them. They are just a superb deal, amazon has them for 120. They retail for 150. Best bang for your buck and incredible sounding headphones you can find.
