The Best Headphones/Earbuds Under $75!

Like the other reviewer below, I heard about headfi.org and bought these as a cheap replacement for my Sony MDR-EX300s that I lost a while back. Although they cost about half as much, they're just as good, if not better. Incredibly deep bass and clear highs, balanced mids and an amazingly large soundstage for such a small IEM at such a low price. While I'm not an avid music lover, I'm pretty picky when it comes to how I listen to music. They compare very well to my other toys over the years which have included the aforementioned Sony, Etymotic ER4P, Sony V6, V-Moda Crossfade LP, V-Moda M-100 etc. As I said in the title, if you are looking for the best headphones/earphones under $75 then this is it. By the way, a note to the seller - I bought from Comtachi Japan and was very satisfied with the service. Revain gave a delivery date of December 12 to January 6; I received them on November 22nd. The packaging was ridiculously thorough: the product was in its own standard packaging, then wrapped in plastic, then wrapped in bubble wrap, then re-wrapped in gift paper, THEN placed in a good sized little box for shipping overseas. Seriously, I don't wrap my Christmas presents that carefully. The little personalized thank you note was a nice touch too. If I buy anything else straight from Japan I'll definitely check it out again. And no, they don't pay me to say that! ;)

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging
