Hey DC, I have a barely-used pair of Creative Aurvana In-Ear earphones. I was anyway about to make a sale thread for it. We'll talk over PM if you're interested. Let me know. Oh and here's the product link:
 
The soundmagic earphones are very good. But I am a little apprehensive about the build quality.

I mean should you pay 1500 for something that can break pretty fast ?

My Ep-630, Crossroads Mylar One and Crossroads LBi have all broken. (Though Uncle Wilson from Jaben is replacing my LBi without me having ship the broken phones back to him ! Amazing customer service !) :)

I feel this earphone is quite good - Amazon.com: JBuds J2 Premium Hi-FI Noise Isolating Earbuds (Onyx Black): Electronics

Bought the Futuresonics FS1 from thenvk for 2100/-.
Awesome seller, Even allowed me to take these earphones to office for a whole days listening before giving him the amount :D. And also, Thanks TechHead for the offer :).

These things have Friggin tight Bass :S :clap:
 
^^ Oh they are no good. The SE110 outclasses this one in all departments.

Just having 2 drivers does not mean it will sound much better.
 
Did a little bit of googling on this one

Seems that they are just released and propah reviews aren't out as yet

Here's a quick one from gizmodo

Lightning Review: New Apple In-Ear Headphones - Gizmodo Australia
The Verdict: After a history of offering lackluster earbuds, Apple has come through with a product that sounds really good and is reasonably priced, all things considered. The balanced sound and dual drivers makes all the difference in the quality factor. While not necessarily thumpy, the bass has a nice resonance without drowning out many of the high end intricacies found in jazz or electronic music. The midrange audio is relatively flat and doesn't overpower your ears, which is nice because it allows the high end noises to really stand out, letting you hear things you don't get from your car or computer speakers.

To see how they stacked up in the headphone scheme of things, I tested them against a pair of standard iPod headphones, the premium Zune headphones, and the Shure SE110s, the winner of our earphone battlemodo.

• Unsurprisingly, the Apple In-Ears outclassed the normal iPod earphones in every category, providing superior sound and comfort.

• The Zune Premium Headphones v2, which are very good for only costing $US30-$US40, had bass that was a bit punchier, but could not compete against the mids and highs of the Apple In-Ears. If you really like bass or a lower price, you might favour the Zune headphones, which more than get the job done. But on sound quality alone, the Apple In-Ear headphones are superior.

• Compared to the Shure SE110s, the Apple In-Ear headphones don't quite match up. It's not a stark difference between the two, but the SE110s are superior in almost every category, from bass, to high end clarity. Part of that is because the Apple In-Ears don't have the noise isolation capability, and partly because they're just not quite as good. And though they're $US40 cheaper than the SE110s MSRP, you can find the SE110s at some online outlets as low as $US75.

May make sense to wait for while on this one though till more detailed reviews surface
Having said that, the SE110 costs over 6K in India so assuming the review on gizmodo is fair, these IEMs may be good value
 
The futuresonic FS1 for 2.1k are friggin awesome. Tight Bass, good sound reproduction and almost 100% noise cancellation, couldnt have asked for more really and the seller was kind enough to replace the default earplugs (earcups or whatever) with the Shure ones, now these completely rock :O.
