Earphones / Headphones: Where to try, what to buy?

The sound magic e-10s are excellent for sound quality and build quality at that price point. The only negative for me was that they never fit as well as my senn cx-300s - my previous fav budget in-ears. I always have to use the smallest buds/tips. If you are comfortable with medium or large tips the the e10s will be fine.

Or, as I tell everyone, save up and buy klipsch x-10i. Brilliant in-ears.

i've bought a pair of the x10is from amazon - £99. i fell like a bit of a cunt for spending a bradman on in-ears that are likely for break in 6 months, but at least i can blame you, lowpug. :P
