I found the IE80 for 250$ and for 60$, I'm thinking maybe what you have bought is fake...

What should I buy? Sony XBA-30/S and sennheiser IE 60 are the best on list, right?

What is better? and am I have to buy an amp for them?

and can you send me link for the IE 80 that you have bought?

Done go for Sennheiser on ebay, it is absolutely alive with fakes. Go for the IE60 from Amazon or an authorized reseller or go for the Sony XBA-30. I would say they are the best two from what you have suggested.

Neither should need a headphones amp, but most in ears will benefit from one. Just depends if you want to carry an extra device around, far less practical for running if you use an amp.

out of those listed, I would think IE60's would be the best.

 

You'll be fine without an amp.

Will work for electronic components and parts

200$ and people are recommending he steelseries flux. Huh? Anyways, i'd probably save up another little bit of cash and get some custom iem's. They are much more comfy, much easier to get a perfect seal, sound amazing because of it, etc.

 

Go on head-fi and ask around about customs, maybe get some ue superfi-5's reshelled?

Sennheiser is known for it's sound. You can't go wrong with that. I myself have the ie80's, absolutely fantastic IEM'S. 

 

But seriously.

If you are considerng buying something, and it's audio related, ask the Head-Fi Community. (sorry to put you off like that.)

I would thoroughly recommend getting something like the Shure SE315's, they'll make an excellent choice for running too! They always manage to stay in my ear and the foam tips are great at isolating yourself from the outside world..  I'm loving my pair...

As the others said, I really wouldn't trust buying higher end gear from eBay, buy from Amazon directly or a brick and mortar store...

The answer is 42.
Oh, wait, you mean to tell me you need to know the question now?
Well, I can't answer that.

Well the seller's in California, hasn't sold many items, never sold audio equipment before, used different pictures than any others I saw on ebay, and these sound pretty darn good....

Will have to inspect the box closer and test on something other than a phone, but so far I'd be happy with the price even if they are fake.

 

They are fakes. :(

Let's hope Ebay's buyer protection works.....
