Saw some raving reviews for these: (same sound quality as >$300 ones, for only $57)

So, i mailed them asking about a cheap headphone amp to go with them, he told me to wait a bit and keep watching his blog: http://jaben.wordpress.com/ , there's a crossroad cr-2 on its way (59$ , or 24$ for diy set) So i guess i can wait a bit.

What does the plug look like on these things? (asks the new iPhone user who unfortunately has to check stuff like that out now)

I think just a straight plug, seeing the requests here for an L-plug:

Ah, understand your problem now, apple made the hole too small. Here it says the X3's plug is too big:

Bloody hell, I hate to think what you'd have to look like to get those white ones to fit...

You mean someone with very low ears?
(i guess that little band can slide down)

I purchased a set of these for my wife, who'd been complaining that the Sennheisers that came with my Karma were uncomfortable. They arrived in a little over a week. Everything was well packaged. They came with a semi-rigid soft case, an airline adapter, a rubber spacer thing which has some unknown function, and small, medium and large rubber tips for the earbuds.

The sound difference is huge. I've never had an expensive set of earbuds, so I don't have a whole lot to compare to, but these put the aforementioned Sennheisers and my $20 Sony earbuds to shame. I've never gotten bass like this out of an earbud before. I'm definitely satisfied with the purchase.

Not having listened to any other highend earbuds, I can't tell you where they rank...only that they sound great to my ears.

Please be more specific regarding the exact model of $20.00 sony earbuds you are comparing them to? Were they the MDR-EX70LP units?

I'm trying to decide whether to pull the trigger on a pair of these. If they put the MDR-EX70LP's to shame, then I want them RIGHT NOW.

But if you're comparing them to a different model of Sony earbud, then I'm not so sure, and would want to deliberate more before purchasing.
