Ahaha, not sure if that's a good idea. I'm pretty sure OP wants to hold on to his wallet...

So much for forgetting the price! LOL I would NEVER spend that much for headphones either.

You guys are weak. E3Cs are a drop in the bucket compared to E500s. Look those up...

Anyway, OP - Sennheiser makes a canalphone, but the sound quality is almost exactly the same as the Creative EP-630. This is because both headphones are made by the same OEM, Sennheiser and Creative just slap their own price tag and name on it. The Senns are almost twice the price of the EP630, but they sound nearly the same.

Oh, and by the way, if you're talking about headphones, NEVER say forget the price - if there's audiophiles around you'll start getting recommendations for $3000+ headphones...

ofiraltarasy, the Sennheiser canalphones are the CX-300 (also available in silver) which are what I have. I chose them over the Creatives because the Senns have the assymetrical, j-type cord like the Sony EX51/71 which was important for me. They allow you to easily hang the canalphones around your neck when not using them, or when using only 1 side. I'm a bass freak, and the Senns are better than the Sonys in every way except maybe cordlength (senns are shorter) and looks, but those are personal preference.

Only problem is that they sound somewhat different from their creative and sharp counterparts... lol...
Ooo... Now they're in his price range... Wonder why black is cheaper than the rest...

According to THIS head-fi thread, the drivers in the EP630/CX300/MD33 are exactly the same, just rebranded. Post #8 in particular is rather interesting.

Since the EP630 is almost half the price of the CX300, it's basically the obvious choice. The only real difference is in cords and style, I guess.
