LAT Says: Buy Cheap Headphones

It says right here in the Los Angeles Times that, of the six set of high-end earphones they tested, the cheapest of the lot came out on top: the Sennheiser CX 300S In-ear Monitor (which Amazon has for $54 right now, as opposed to the $80 mentioned in the article.)

I've been thinking about getting a set of in-ear headphones for a while, but you can't really try them out at the store (a wise policy, if you ask me.) It's a decent review that speaks cogently about the way different earphones sound, and names names, so to speak.

Anybody else have an opinion about these things?

After losing my amazing B&O earphones (the ones they used as a cell phone in "Monority Report"), I bought a pair of $35 sony in-ear phones. They rock. There's no falling out, no awkward fit -- they just work. I use them every day, and can't imagine a better sound from little, teeny-tiny ear buds. Buy them. You're welcome.

BTW, what's the model number on those puppies?
