If I spent $500 on a set of earphones, do you think I'd have a $10 CD player? 
Now I really really want to hear how these things sound like. You got me interested!

The difference is similar to that of a 325i vs an M5.
They are both cars, both bmw's, etc.
One costs a whole bunch more, and is a substantially different experience.
You just need to decide it the experience is worth the extra $$.
In both cases it is.
The only problem is that I have the extra $$ for the earphones but not for the M5.

My Ride: (USA) 645Ci, Silver Gray, Chateau, Cold Weather PKG, Premium Sound PKG, Sport PKG, Step, NAV [Std Equip in 645], HUD, Satellite (SIRIUS) Radio, Aux Input, Bluetooth enabled using iPhone 3GS w/ adapter cradle - Build date - 01/05, Baby delivered 2/24/05
i have used the ETYMOTIC ER-6 for some time now and very pleased with their capabilities. Got them to replace the big anti noise headsets that I used on my 15-25 hour trips to Norway, Japan, Guam, and the like. Now that I quit travelling a rarely used any of them. Happened to be a a temporary office location yesterday and today and needed to use them again and really nice reproduction and noise blocking. At about $130 probably not in the Shure E5 league
