Hey guys, i currently own a Sony MDR-ED31LP, and i must say they are great for the price. Although the cord is made of fabric, it tared unfortunately. I guess i needed a bit more care.. I'm searching for new earphones lately (not headphones) and i've come across a few. I am considering the Sony MDR-NX1 for now, its compact and great for hanging my MP3 (Samsung Yepp 55v) on it. I hoping for some suggestions and opinions on this, and it would be great if someone has tried them out. Otherwise, i'll buy the MDR-ED31LP again ^^ (owned them for 2 years now and they're as crisp and powerful as the day i got them). I like earphones that have: - Bass (love it) - Treble (not "high pitched" like the MDR-EX71LP) - Long life - Durability [edit] im considering between these two, Sharp MD-33 or Koss The Plug. Just wondering which are better, and also peoples experiences with them. thanks in advance guys~ p.s. price range less that $AU100
