Seeking the Perfect iPhone Earbuds Replacement

[CNI Dawg]

Do you have a newer link for these ? Are you still happy with them ?

Pros
1. Same exact drivers/sound identical to Sennheiser CX300 (tighter, less boomy bass than V-Moda, still big bass though, much clearer mids/crisper highs than V-Moda).

2. CHEAP!

3. Mic/button unit same size as iPhone.

4. Stylish black aluminum jack with silver rings

Cons

1. Build quality slightly lower than regular Sennheisers, mostly in the cord dept. The jack does not have a rubber grommet around the cord junction and since the housing is aluminum, it may eventually cut into the cord. The cord is relatively tangle free however.

2. No case/pouch/trained rodent to hold the buds for you.

3. extra set of flanged tips are made of crappy silicone. They're described as free anyhow. Still too much to pay for them.

I'm continually amazed at how many people have been lulled by V-Moda's schtick. They sound like 20" Jeep speakers with a blown tweeter. Sennheisers have a full rich fun sound with big bass, solid mids and crispy highs.

I'm a firm believer in, you get what you pay for. I have tried the Apple, Sure, Klipsch, Bose, and Ultimate Ear earbuds. I finally settled on (my favorite) Ultimate Ear 600vi and the Klipsch Custom 3 earbuds (no longer available).

The Ultimate Ear 600vi cancel out so much noise I have to remove then to hear the flight attendants, when they talk to me. The best noise canceling that I have found so far. Work great with the iPad 2, iPhone 4 and iPod Nano.

I like my music and I hate ambient noise. I have to vote for Ultimate Ears..
