I know I'm asking a totally noob question:

What is the difference in quality of earphones between those below RM50, those below RM200, those between RM300-RM600, and those above RM1000?

Below RM50 = Crap, save money and get something else.
Below RM200 = Quite good for starting out, but there are many traps(overpriced junks). Choose wisely.
RM300-600 = Getting close to audiophile territory, and some even achieve it. Easy to find good value. Rarely disappoints, mostly boils down to sound preference rather than lousy quality(most cases). You'd still have to watch out for overpriced junks.
Over RM1000 = Audiophile region. Multi-driver stuff, highly complex engineering, bla bla bla. Personal preference dictates what you perceive as the best. As ever, some can be overpriced however rarely occurs. Only the critical can find points to criticize the stuff in this price range.

Good enough answer?  biggrin.gif

Thanks for the pointers. I'm new in this area and have no way of telling whether the quality is bad unless it really bad. I've been using Creative EP-220 for almost a year and one side is spoiled now. I am looking of a new pair of earphones. Any recommendations for RM150 or below?

A Perodua Viva has 4 wheels, 4 doors, seats 5.  A Ferrari has 4 wheels as well but 2 less doors and seats only 2.  Why then the Ferrari cost about 50 units of the Viva  hmm.gif
