Clip+ is perfect for the budget. For the IEM , you need to be a little more specific about the kind of sound you are looking for :p.

I dont stick to one type of music...it varies from rock to hip hop....

Coldplay, U2, Poets of the fall, nickelback, timberlake are some artists i like..

metal, death metal, trance is what i dont listen to.. :)

Good amount of bass..not over..

good soundstage..

and most importantly..

good detailing and SQ..

Hope that helps..

can you please tell..from where can i get the sansa clip+ ? pristinenote?

E71 isn't too bad as a source actually, you might want to consider keeping that and using your budget for better iems

clip+, I would also suggest global easy buy from ebay, I got the 8gb one for 3.8k after 10% discount coupon there

E71 a good source?

its got a 2.5mm jack...so i use the AD-50 nokia converter..to covert it to a 3.5mm one...

AD-50

the converter screws all the quality..

my PL11 dont sound any better than the bundled nokia earphones..

what converter are you using?

I ordered an AD-52 converter from ebay yesterday..

AD-52

If it works well...without destroying the SQ..then maybe i wont go for the music player...

Same with all the IEMs...

If the AD-52 doesnt work well, will get the one you mentioned..

I face another problem..if i connect any headphones(full cans) to my phone...it crashes within 10 mins..

the battery doesnt get discharged..it just switches off..

do you face that problem too?

E71 is a good source in terms of mobile but I still suggest you get a good PMP to get the best out of a good earphones.Its easily noticeable for something in the range of 2-4k IEMs like RE-2,Brainwavz M2 etc. The sound has lot better authority in the lower end as well as treble with players. :) Also will be helpful if you plan to upgrade again few months/a year down the line.

Best combo IMO would be a Clip+ and a Brainwavz M2 from MP4nation/Lynx India.

^^You can update your phones software quite easily, download your phones firmware from blue-nokia.com and then flash it using the phoenix software. Its a very easy job and will be completed in ten mins.
