Almost double the price. Why spoil myself when I already find the X3i's to be awesome ?
Cause you might find the RE-2 to be more awesome
If you don't want to stretch the budget , settle for the PL-30/PL-21.The bass is the only deciding factor between the PL-21/30. I personally love the PL-21 more.

FaH33m, I am also looking for IEM for Sansa Clip Plus which I recently bought from UK.
Right now I am using Audio technica AD700 Open Cans. I like the music signature of these cans. I mostly listen to classical, jazz and new age music. I don't like bassy sound. I prefer smooth Mids and highs.
Since you have listened to PL30, RE2 and PL50. Which will be closer to my sound preferences?
Which one among the three is the best value for money? PL 30 is around Rs.950, RE around Rs.1800 and PL50 is Rs. 2600.
My guit feeling says that I should go for PL30 but would like to hear your opinion.
Thanks in advance
I haven't heard the AD-700 personally,just read a lot about them on head-fi as they are one of the most suggested entry level hi-fi cans.
Anyways my suggestion for you would be Sound Magic PL-50 if you can go for it.It is far more superior compared to the PL-30 though it has a similar sound signature.It isn't the most accurate or neutral IEMs but it has a very sweet and engaging mid range coupled with an awesome sound stage.
The treble/highs are lot better than the PL-30.The bass isn't very strong.Its deep and has a good punch ,more dominant when using the foam tips.
Listening to instrumentals , especially an acoustic guitar feels really awesome on the PL-50.
If you want to keep the expenses low,the PL-30 is the best choice .It's similar to the PL-50 slightly lower sound quality ,detailing and inferior high notes. Do keep in mind that even the PL-30 has a very light bass .So incase you are a bass head ,you won't like the PL-30/50.
Hope this helps.
