Best Closed Earbuds
Someone (me) accidently stepped on his Etymotic ER-4 and is in need of some new closed-style earbuds. I'd love to go out and get another pair of ER-4s, but can't afford to spend over $200 on earbuds at the moment. So I'm looking for a cheaper alternative. I can only use the Apple supplied iPod earbuds a little longer. From what I've read, many are recommending the Sony EX-70, or EX-71s. Anyone have a pair of these? Are the best earbud for my buck, or is there another pair I should be looking at.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

OUCH, dude, that's gotta hurt. Go for the ER-6's. I have those and I love them. Of course compared to ER-4's, everything's gonna sound like crap.

I've read good things about the ER-6. Almost half the price of the ER-4. Thanks for the tip.

I've noticed there is a big gap between low and high end earbuds, without much inbetween. why are you looking for earbuds only? What about regular headphones.

I'm looking for an earbud for portability reasons. I don't necessarily want to carry headphones around on the commuter train, or while at the gym.
