In-Ear Headphones around 30$ or lesser

Well, now that we have booked my 5800 , RoBoGhOsT and me were looking to buy some good canal type earphones via KMD. We had nearly zeroed in on the Sennheiser CX-500 for 30$ off eBay , but later found out that they were most probably fake. Now we have come down to the CX-400 from J&R: Electronics, Digital Cameras, Computers, Appliances, Software, Video Games, DVDs, CDs ..
Sennheiser CX-400B Classic Line Earbud Headphones - Black in Corded Headphones at JR.com

Are they good earphones, if anyone has used them ? Any other better earphones in this category falling in the same price-range ?

someone please tell good headphones under 2k locally , or under 30 $ from kmd , mostly in ear-type

check out the Soundmagic PL-30's ...

K. What about the crossroads ? Will they fit the bill ?

EDIT : just checked Jaben's site. The Mylar x3i's have been replaced by the Bijou 2 and 3's . Kinda out of our budget at 57$

Please help!!

Hmm. Will check out the PLs and the Denon's.

@Nikhil - Me want the thump. Have EP-630's already, but i think can use something better

BTW, had a look at the SoundMagic PL-30 reviews. Seem to be good. Where are they available ? Only eBay or somewhere like newegg or amazon ?

^^ check out kknda's show off. he got em off of some site based in hongkong. i don't think you'll find these on newegg/amazon. he ordered it directly by himself.

How would you match up the PL-30 against the CX-400 ? Also anyone heard of the Jbuds ?

I have the cx-400's. They are good, I have only the ep630 and the mylar xbi (or whichever one stalker has/had) and a cx-300 for comparison. The mylar's sounded more like monitor speakers, the ep-630 though better than my sony photopia earphones sound shit while the cx-300 has a lot of bass, a lot more than my liking.

The sound coming out of the cx-400 is crystal clear and while most earphones fail to reproduce treble properly resulting is the treble being garbled, the cx-400 reproduces it clearly without messing up the sound.
I think the sound is more balanced in the cx-400 and the response to the equalizer is quiet good (not sensitive exactly but better than other earphones).

Well , the guys over at head-fi.org are recommending that we spend a little more and get the NuForce NE-7M . @50$ , they are said to be the best VFM earbuds, along with added features like a mic for your Mobile phone, which is my major use.

How are the Crossroad MylarOne ? I think the x3i's are stopped right ?

^^ afaik mylarones are not sold any longer. they are basically older gen products from crossroads.. mylarones.. followed by x3/xb series.. followed by x3* series.. followed by the current bijou series.

If you wnat heavy bass in the mylarones look for either an xbi or an xb. not sure where you'll find either though.

thanks for the info , thinking to get the CX400 now , where did u get them from and for how much ? also how good is CX400 over CX300 and ep-630 , also how much is loudness in CX400 compared to EP-630?
