ultrabike:
I got these for uber-cheap proly cuz they r getting discontinued...

Sound

These are significantly less bassy (and "fun") than the JVC XX but IMO manage to cover the low end well. That said, I prefer a little moar bass. The mids are decent. Treble is also more on the neutral side of things though I can detect some edginess depending on track played (most of the time not a problem).

Comfort

Awesome. The capsules are fairly small and light.

Presentation

Got black ones. Not much to say, these are fairly minimalistic and I sort of like that.

Price

Paid $8.7 ... Definitively not poo for the price. I think they are being discontinued which is unfortunate.

Overall

Kicks Ass.

Measurements

Again, please take these w a grain of salt. Disregarded information >10 kHz.

Comparo w JVC FR201-XX

firev1:
These look reasonably neutral for such a cheap phone!

ultrabike:
Yup! They are quite nice actually. In a way I wish I still had my Audeos to do a comparo with these. Going by memory, the Audeos where analytical (not necessarily bright though) and had less bass than I like. These are less analytical and perhaps a tad more bass. For $8-9 these IMO are a great bargain.

Can't run with these type of cans though, and sticking stuff in one's ears is not for everyone. I feel this are relatively pretty comfy though.

If anyone's interested, the successor of the Philips SHE357x / 358x / 359x earphones is the SHE390x.

These and the old models measure nearly identical acoustically. I think the upgraded appearance of the SHE390x is quite pleasing to see.

They share the distinctive FR of most dynamic driver in-ear phones, but they boast gloriously low nonlinear distortion products and the FRs are easy to tame using EQ.

ultrabike:
Kind of hard to find them now on the shelves. Good to still see them on-line. Price above ($10) is awesome in my book.
