Still one of the popular choices in our stores if I may say and we are seeing our customers compare this to JVC FX850 and Audio Technica ATH-IM03. Perhaps you can also consider the UM Merlin. Feel free to visit us and audition them first.

Looking for a earphone, hopefully there is noise cancellation.

Your rig (Sony Walkman A17)
- What type of usage (music on the go)
- File format used in your source (Mainly mp3)
- Genre of music you listen to (Blue, Rock, Pop, Dance, Classical & etc)
- Headphone / earphone type (Not heavy bass but surround sound, previously using AKG K430. Wanna get somewhat similar one)
- Other requirements (if any) (volume control if there is, can do without)

Was hoping <$50. Suggestions?

L Jack preferably, must have a chin slider? the piece on the Y slider
Normal round cables/ thin flat cables

Currently eyeing something like Beyer dynamics XP2(but cable quality quite low) or the DX 120 IE(no chin slider on the Y split though)

Perhaps the community can reccomend me some similar ones? Many has suggested shure 215s, but I don't really like the idea of looping over the ears.
