    There's no brand name anywhere for these KA201s.

    Stick to a brand that's renowned for their expertise in audio products - Sennheiser, AKG, Beyer Dynamic, Maxell etc.

    Yes you are right.. Stick with well known brands and pay £30 - £40 but if you want to save £20-£30 and get same quality product with out a branded logo with 1 year warranty and money back guarantee go for KA201 earphones on Amazon. It is up to you. But if you like the product please do not forget to thank me.

    If you are looking for accuracy, then go for Creative Aurvana 2. I'm using them for a couple of years and I'll highly recommend them

    The best in-ear phones in the world are useless if they don't fit. They need to seal your ear off from the outside world to sound any good. Finding ones that fit, and stay in is the problem for me.
    I have tried, and liked, these brands generally - Skullcandy, Sennheiser, Klipsch, and... Sony (don't overlook them!).
    I had JVC ones which I think were great but the cable wasn't long enough. I had BeyerDynamic ones that were hopeless, seemed to fit but no bass at all.

    Sennheiser CX300 used daily for over3 years no problems. Iparticularly like the asymmetrical lead which means I can lop the right earphone round the back of my neck and the right angle jack.

    Have tried others but I still think the 300's are better all round. never paid full price.

    that said I have had some unreliable sub £5 ones that looked like Sennheisers and sounded OK while they lasted.

    Must have been the Swaroski implants that swayed it. Do they improve the bass response?;)
