I know we've probably been down this road before but I am still considering getting some in the ear isolation earbuds. What can I find for $150.00 or less that comes close to sounding like my HD-600's? I set a budget because these will only be used for mp3 on public transportation.

I see some good prices on the Shure E210 but many claim they are a bit bass shy even when the buds are in good position. True? I don't want exaggerated bass like Grado but I don't want overly bright like Sony, just good sound like Sennheiser. I bought my daughter a pair of Senn's, I think CX300 earbuds and even after broke in I have to say I was a bit disappointed. Even if they cost $30.00. The midrange sounded like those cheap buds you get for free with the mp3 player. I'm used to getting good performance for the money from Sennheiser. I wonder if their more expensive buds are better?

Are Bose earbuds as bad as their speakers?
