thanks for the heads-up. i grabbed a pair to try. not sold on the "on-ear" thing and hate the branding, but we'll see.

Are they really good? Been needing to replace my earphones for the PC and gaming. Built in Mic compatible for counterstrike 1.6?

I've had these before. The sound quality is good and so is the build quality. They also look stylish.
But for me, the comfort wasn't there. And if you look at the ergonomics of it you will see these headphones don't have cups. It's literally two rectangles of pleathery blocks that are just squished against your head. I would never use for gaming or something like that where you wear them for over an hour. May be acceptable as a portable headphone for use with your phone or iPod. PS the price is not the lowest they have been, it's just a decently good deal (IIRC they sold at Best Buy for $50 earlier this year).

Excellent prices (for an ex-USA customer) on Tumi stuff with the 25% off East Dane sale.

Otherwise, unfortunately the sale items are pretty picked over, so will probably wait till their year-end sale.

Ugh, bad news. 10+ hours on a plane-level comfort is what I'm looking for.

i'm a big fan of the shure se215 for a price-friendly in-ear noise isolating bud if you're not looking specifically for cans

Well, I missed the 3 hour window and they are now back at $88.

Thanks for the heads up though, I'll keep an eye out for something else.

+1 on Shure. Great sound isolation and comfortable. They have bulky plugs though so it won't fit into some case openings if you're listening on your phone.

Margiela GATs are $320 on End with discount, pre-shipping. Anyone know if they get any lower elsewhere?

Astell & Kern's rebranded final audio desgin earbuds are really good.

I've tried a ton of IEMs to try and find the perfect pair that fits comfortable and sound good. Highly recommend vsonic gr07 bass editions, I wear these for at least half the day and they sound amazing.
