Well first things first, this IEM is a gift to my girlfriend. So I have a few specific requirements. If I had to buy them for myself I would have grabbed the CX-180s blindly but here are the requirements.
1. I have already handed out 2 Sennheiser CX-180s to two of my best friends so this one has to be better than that. I can't buy the same one again for social reasons.
2. My gf is currently using (my stolen) Brainwavz M2, so I am looking for something that won't sound all that bad when compared to M2, I am not saying better for just 1k, but something that wouldn't sound cheap.
3. Have to be durable (good warranty preferable). Should withstand being thrown into a bag and never being put in a case (even if one is provided). Realistically should last a year atleast
4. Have to look good. A blue/white or even pink is better but Black is also equally good. not imp.
5. Should be comfortable to wear for prolonged use. Bus rides etc... very imp
Budget is flexible. 1k is just a reference.
To summarise, I am looking for Durable and Comfortable earphones, followed by sound Q that is only a shade below M2
Further points in favour or arbitary:
1. I already have a CX180, M1 and Klispsch X10 (which my gf gifted me - I know shame on me that I am getting her comparatively el-cheapo ones). She wont take the M1 since she is already aware that the M2 are better.
2. Would be better if available on Flipkart since I have money in my FK wallet but not a deciding factor.
3. No mic needed
4. Used with Blackberry Bold 98xx and iPod touch and laptop maybe
I can't stress enough on this, but they have to be durable
Thanks for looking
