Yeah. They are the ones. They are cheap (under $100), looks simple and are practically unknown to everyone. (It's a Russian company)

But they sound amazing after some break-in. Here's the review from the oracle. (Well, maybe he's not the oracle but close enough. lol)
Look at the sound quality score it got. Compare it to the most expensive IEMs. (Triple-Fi 10 etc) Eterna was his more recent review also!

I am also one of those who try out every earphone I can get my hands on. I've had $200+ Shures, UltimateEars etc. But really, RE0 sound awesome. Bit lacking in bass but the highs. Oh my the highs. The detail. The Eternas are more all around. My friend (also an IEM-phile) prefers the Eternas over RE0 as well. I currently use an even cheaper and lesser sound quality SoundMagic PL-50 just due to its miniscule size and comfort during commuting.

These passive noice cancelling IEMSs are great. Small, discrete, comfortable (if you get the right fit), no need for loud volume to hear finer detail and does not disturb others around you. Even in a library.

UPDATE: I just tried the IEM earphones that came with my N900 for the first time. This sounds like a typical cheap pair of earphones. Bass is way too bloated and muffled, mids and treble is drowned by it. Sound stage is very cramped also. Treble is there but details are lost. Mid is too far back. It's not the worst, but it's no where near even the entry level decent IEMs. But seriously, many people are used to this kind of sound. So to many, this actually might sound good. Even though it's not...... Personally, I would not be using this earphone ever again.
