Honestly, when was the last time Sennheiser had a product that cheap? This site shows you image comparisons between the fake ones and the real ones. http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8392 Matthew, from what I can gather, CX300’s have been known to be faked – hence the large price leap.

The price is great. The thing I noticed about these right off was that the plastic on the cords at least seemed to be of a stronger variety. The problem with the softer rubbery-type of plastic on my old pair was that with all of the moving and twisting that these earphones go through, the plastic wears down and becomes very soft, and tears. Hopefully this will not happen with these. But, the bad part about that is that they have more "memory", and hold a bend a little more than I would like. But, would rather have the bend than a tear in the plastic, so I would say this is an upgrade. As for the fit....not so good for me yet. Hopefully I will find a tip in the set that will eventually not pop out of my ears, but so far no dice. The smallest size seems to stay in the longest, but also allows some outside noise in, which defeats the purpose of my buying these earphones. The medium size would never last on a run, they pop out just sitting. And the large, they don't fit at all. Funny, the black medium tips from my old sonys fit better...but I can only find 1.... I think the clear tips are a little....gross....anyway. I clean them, and my ears, but even so, not so sure clear was the best idea for something you are going to be sticking in your ears. Just my 2 cents. They sound great when they stay in!! Definitely worth every penny if I can get a size that will stay in without taping them to my head.

UE Metro. Fi 2 are very good IEM, I would compare them to Sennheiser CX300 and V-moda VIBES. Creative Aurvanas earphones are pretty bad, I bought them tried them and instantly returned them.

Also, would they be uncomfortable if you had them in your ears for over an hour straight? Sound quality-wise, how do they compare to the Aurvanas?
