bogon07 Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Nice find Firebird, they're styled a bit differently from the usal in-ear phones. The a site suggested a $100 RRP (US I suppose) which is around the same area as the Sony EX90 isn't it. The case is stylish too.Wonder how the cleaning tool works ?The rubber ear bud looks pretty standard, can they really justify a trademark name (AuraSeal™) for it. Wow ! I`m looking forward to hear more about this earphone .To replace your CX300s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stuge Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 The rubber ear bud looks pretty standard, can they really justify a trademark name (AuraSeal™) for it. To replace your CX300s Maybe ,I have stopped using them(CX300) .Either Ex90 or any other phone will replace my Cx300 in near future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 I've seen pictures floating around that suggest price of $239, which is much closer to what I'd expect from a dual armature driver IEMs. The Shure E5s (left) are $500 and also uses similar tech, whereas the E3s (right) uses single driver and costs much less, $150. Other Dual Armature Driver headphones go for at least $250, and those includes the SuperFi 5 series.If Creative could reduce the price down to $100, then I'll be very impressed.
