Guys, I've been looking to purchase a pair of earphones for some time now. I was initially looking at the A-Jays Four because of its knot-free cable. But, I just took a listen to my friends Bose IE2 and it sounds simply amazing! I haven't tried the A-Jays Four, so don't know how good it sounds. I also don't mind headphones, but sometimes when traveling on the train, etc its much easier to carry earphones rather than headphones. But I am now abroad, and don't really travel much apart from the weekends, so a headphone might be OK too.

- My Rig: Mac, iPad
- Type of usage: Music
- File format: AAC (I think this is the iTunes standard format).
- Music genre: House, Trance, a bit of Rap and RnB. I listen to LOTS of different kinds of music, but these are the main genres.
- Budget: RM300+ (Try to stick within RM300, but if there is something A LOT better for an extra RM50/RM100 I can consider).
- Headphone/ earphone type: Preferably In-ear but do suggest any around ears too.
- Other requirements (if any): I MAY be getting an iPhone, so if it comes with a mic, then bonus, but that's not so important as I think I will be mainly using it with my Mac.

Thanks.

Hey guys! Hoping for some recommendations from you guys!

- iPod Touch / iPod Nano
- Mainly Music
- Usually .mp3
- Jazz, rock, acoustic, pop
- IEM
- Noise cancellation is a must. Volume control (or not, doesn't really matter)

Been looking at Shure's earphones SE 425 but I can't make up my mind yet! Any other recommendations please?

Was previously a Sennheiser user.

Thanks!
