How can the SE110's be the winner? It lacks some serious bass depth to be counted as the winner O.o Shure (Pun intended) they are very good at isolation with the foam tips on, and durability is ok but the sound isn't.. They are no way near balanced, and just sound crap.

@Ryan Chung: Try the e2c's--they have slightly better bass and are cheaper than the new SE115's.

@matt buchanan: Agreed. I was disappointed and annoyed at my pair of SE110's because of their apparent inferiority to my previous set of e2c's, which I loved but lost to cable breakage. The SE210's are the sweet spot for me, though are pricey at $250. Still rocking them for over a year though, so they were definitely worth the money.

Would the Ultimate Ears metro.fi 2 be a suitable next step/jump up from some Sennheiser CX300s? I like the sound quality but the cable noise is nauseating. It seems like I can get the Shure SE110 for around $50 as well, so that might be better.

@Dafrety: If cable noise is a pet peeve, maybe avoid the metro.fis. You'll lose a little bass and loudness (compared to the metros, not the CXs) by going with the SE110s, but you'll have a better experience all around.

I love my v-moda vibe duos. I love them even more after a coworker pointed out that I could use them as standard windows headphones as well if I wrap a rubber band around them to keep the 'talk' button depressed.
