I've finally come across, some cheap but fantastic head phones with an inline volume control.Periodically, I always see posts about choosing head phones. I purchase the JM-14 from Buy.com and for the price, I cannot complain.

Did yours come with a small slip case of any kind?

Nice, but if I ever spend over $100 on headphones I will go with Bose over Sony.

Uh, Bose. Check out Shure or Etymotic for great buds.

Looking at both the Shure or Sony. Etymotic is a bit to much $$ for me..

I would never spend $150 on headphones that I'll be taking everywhere with me. Too much a chance that they'll be broken. $10 Sony earbuds for me.

Especially since I primarily listen to mp3's or streaming video/audio which is definitely less than CD quality. You run the risk of "highlighting" how crappy the music quality of some songs actually is. Kind of like watching an analog video signal on an HDTV (or 320x420 resolution on my X50v

)
