1. updated Shure SE530 - October 9, 2009 at 10:46 am

2. updated Koss PortaPro - October 9, 2009 at 10:45 am

agreed: "somewhat odd looking"
agreed: "snags hair"
new pro/con: Price to sound quality ratio is simply phenomenal. Compared to some high end headphones, this pair of unique phones is a definitely a decent contender.
agreed: "crystal clear sound compared to other phones in it's price segment"

3. updated Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro - October 9, 2009 at 10:44 am

new pro/con: Bass is there and can output low frequency sounds, but bass always seems empty and lacks a noticeable "punch." Not as great as expected for the price.
new pro/con: Hard carrying case is sleek and very stylish. Works very well, but can be a pain to carry around due to its size.
new pro/con: Foam eartips are very low grade and extremely disappointing.
new pro/con: Design is odd, the look is not sleek and, to some, may even be repulsive.
new pro/con: Bound for breakage and potential defective soldering in the left earbud. As with what happened with my pair, and with the pairs of others on the web, the left earbud becomes detached completely, and the insides (including the soldering) is ripped out. Left earbud, by itself, is not sold as a replacement; this type of damage is extremely easy to encounter, not necessarily due to rough handling or misuse.
new pro/con: Wire, although relatively decent in strength, is made of odd material that has a strong chemical odor, and contorts to annoying forms very easily.
new pro/con: Annoying shape and size, can be a pain to put in and out.
new pro/con: Very good sound isolation, nearly everything from the outside world is muted with these headphones in your ears.
new pro/con: Decent sound quality
tapped as "have it"
