^ At least they are free
After I posted the link, I thought something must have been wrong with my ears, went back and checked all my bundled ear phones one by one viz., Creative (Zen V+, 2.5 yrs old), iAudio (S9), Sansa (Clip+), Sony (got for old CD Walkman). 10 minutes of A-B-ing later, they all found their rightful resting place again :bleh:
Creative was the best of them - may be because I used it for 2 years before discovering a whole new world of headphones and IEMs (and then losing my mind and money over them). Sansas are better off than iAudios and could slightly be preferred to boom, boom sonys.
The theory is - if you use it long enough and get used to it, you will not need other IEMs or Headphones. Once you listen to something with quality, you cannot go back.... until you get used to the bad sound again
