I was thinking of getting a pair of SoundMagic Earbuds which are getting rave reviews from What HiFi budget earbud award. No idea what to expect, but its not a fortune to find out. I have a feeling that the SoundMagics will be better? http://www.whathifi.com/review/soundmagic-e10 http://www.amazon.com/SoundMAGIC-No...82_a2_2_p?ie=UTF8&refRID=1BRTQYRX2VVNDX748SP6
The JBuds are not very good, and are marketed at inflated list prices with regular sales at 60-80% off list. If you want very good sounding budget priced earphones, the Ultimate Ears 500vm for $20 shipped is a way way way better sounding choice (and includes an in-line microphone): http://www.adorama.com/LOG500VM.html
Thanks. I read through some of the reviews and gave the JBuds a miss and ordered some SoundMagics to try instead. But I'll definitely have a look at the Ultimate Ears too, as you can never have enough earbuds for $20 - and I need some with a mic, for my phone, and I also like flat cords too I'd have to seek out another supplier who charges less than $59 shipping to Oz though Probably Amazon or eBay will have these too?

Lightning Deal right now is Sennheiser's 598 for $150. All claimed right now but waitlist is still available, and after sitting on the waitlist for only a couple of minutes I was offered the deal. I don't really need another pair of headphones, but I guess I'm sort of a headphone/IEM junky and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to compare the 598s to my current favorites, the Sennheiser 580s that I've owned for about a decade.
I honestly know very little about the 598 or the 595. I know that I generally like Sennheiser's headphones, though, and given that Amazon has good customer service I figure that I can return the 598s if I really don't like them. I simply did about 10 minutes of "homework" on line before deciding to complete the purchase; enough people on head-fi.org seemed pleased with the 598s to make me feel like the purchase was working making.
Oh yeah, I think it's a good deal on that model, and you should be quite happy with it. I have the discontinued 555, which used the same driver as the 595. Just wondering if the 598 offers any improvement to the sound, or if it's just a redesign of the case.
