scan thru the 1st 40 posts and get interested. The last thing I read was Shure e2c is the recommended one. I looked it up, it costs $125 from newegg.com! I want something better but do not want to pay that price (its like half of a N800!). Is anything like $50 price range and "sounded" better than the Nokia one? Just for you to help me, this is what I meant better. I compared the Nokia ear plug with the ipod, (just yanked it out from my kid for a test ), the ipod sound has much more frequency and crispier. Please stop arguing that the ipod is a piece of $hit, the ipod ear plug sounded good to me. Can someone recommend something in that level? So, any suggestions, please? TIA, bun
