i just lost (dunno where i put it / sumone might stole it) my Philips SHE9500 earphone last few days. need to buy new one...

my budget around RM100-RM150 only... i would like "in-ear" form factor.

want to use with my Nokia 5800 XpressMusic!

ps: actually, is it called earphone/headphone?

= = ??? FC700 is closed headphone .. if you use for jogging , I cant imagine it ... ur ears will be filled with sweat doh.gif ...FC700 is quite big for jogging ,it wont stay stable on ur head . the pleather pad of Fc700 will spoil faster also because of sweat and smelly too .= = better buy those sport headphone which specialized for sport , something like this http://www.amazon.com/Nike-HJ020-Lightweig...s/dp/B0000789GC ..

ksc is earclip , it is stable if u aint moving , but for jogging , cant .. unless u walk slowly, not jog biggrin.gif

either u choose sport headphone , which wont bring much trouble in sport , sound quality not so good OR
home/portable headphone , which is troublesome is you use for sport , but sound quality good

ps: better use IEM type for jogging , easy to clean ... if you buy those got pad headphone , get dirty easily

sometimes you can use the search button first before you post biggrin.gif , quoted from page 4 which similar budget as yours, Eiraku suggestion about IEM ... smile.gif ,,, you definitely get more info/suggestion if you use search function rather than waiting people response here , but .. up to you icon_rolleyes.gif smile.gif

IEM is the exact term, but earphone/canalphone/earplug can be used. Headphones = the big cans to smaller KSC75 types, Earbuds = Yuin PK2 type.

Anyhow, considering your budget, here's your choices (in my limited knowledge ah - items marked "From my readings" are based on my research and hearsay only):

1) Soundmagic PL21 (RM80) - From my readings
- Balanced bass / clarity (supposedly)
- Over the ear (OTE) /normal cable down design
- Ok isolation
- Cheap

2) Soundmagic PL30 (RM98) - FMR
- Less bass, more clarity
- Over the ear design (hard to wear normally)
- Less isolation
- Read up reviews on Head-Fi

3) Soundmagic PL11 (RM60) - Tested with 5800
- More bass, less clarity
- OTE/normal design
- Ok isolation (if you can get it, I struggled to get a good fit with the Silicones)
- Cheapest

4) Hippo Boom (RM150) - FMR
- Most bass, lesser clarity (IINM - from my readings)
- OTE/normal design
- Comes with a bundled amp (Fiio E3 - great little thing)
- Good-ok isolation (according to how deep you can stuff em in your ears)
- Had the Bijous a while back, used it with the 5800. They look the same, I wonder if they sound alike... sweat.gif

If willing to spend a bit more and like bassy but still clear sound: Try the Music Valley SP1. They sound great (slightly bass heavy) on the 5800 (to my ears anyway) but are largely overlooked... Of all my previous IEMS (Bijou, Quattro, PL11, SE HPM-70/75), I like the SP1 best... biggrin.gif

Everything else just costs more, lol... sweat.gif
