Count me in, free shipping for $50 or more, but Im not sure if that will apply oversea. I read from head-fi that this site charges $30 shipping compared to amazons $5, not sure though.

it looks almost the same with meelec sp51, have 3 tuning port too. i wonder if they sound the same too.

To try to garner more people to join the GB (free shipping applies overseas I think, but no insurance, so not really recommended.), I like the 3010's more than the Brainwavz M1. The M1's are much more detailed, but the 3010's sound epic (in a relative sense) for my preferred genre, which is indie folk.

Woot! Just got my SoundMAGIC E10s. For the price, these are pretty sweet! I'm liking the design, although it could use a bit more sound isolation. Wish I could get some comply tips locally. All the sellers on tipidpc and sulit ran out. Sound wise, detail is decent with a generous amount of bass. Pairs well with my amps too.  ;D

@SonicYan

How much did you buy the E10? Was able to drop by Egghead at Robinsons Galleria and they have many demo units of headphones and IEMs.  Tried the Popo Woodies, Hisound audio, PL11, E10, all 3 models of Superlux, Dunu Trident and A-jays.  So far the E10 sounds the best to me out of all of these.  Second would be the Superlux, third is Dunu Trident.  Popo Woodies is too bassy, I removed it at once when I played my music.  Forget the Hisound audio and A-jays.  But the E10 sells for P1900 so it's the most expensive among the bunch but I feel it's a little overpriced for the performance.  Will wait for the Brainwavez Beta demo.

@sachiel

you can also try Vsonic GR06, to my ears it sounds better than Soundmagic E30 and even to superlux 381F which i also have.

I haven't seen GR06 being sold here.  Which store carries it?  I have the A151 and I'm glad that it one of the best sounding IEMs around for the price.  Problem is, my new benchmark will be the A151 so I it will be tougher to find a better one with a good price.

@sachiel

I havent heard a151 so i can not compare. Clieos has answered a question about these two IEMs where he wrote and I quote.

"A151 is more mid centric while GR06 is more warm+sweet, but essential they are around the same level of SQ. I am more inclined to recommend GR06 because I find it more versatile on its sound signature. Isolation wise, A151 is ahead but not by much."

"GR06 has better detail and treble, A151 has slightly better speed."

But of course you have to take this with a grain of salt. I suggest that you audition. With regards to where you can get it, i spotted one member selling at trading section. You can also look at TPC.
