Haha, don't mention skullcandy in a serious audio forum :p
They're fruits that look good(for some ppl) on the outside but are rotten inside.

he needs one with mic. Otherwise I would've suggested him to go for the es18 (e series being the successor of pl series) or the mp21. Now because of the requirement of mic, mp21 is good. I'm not sure about its price, but few months back before the prices were raised, it was available for 700. now maybe 900?

D'uh. Did you even read what he requires? He clearly mentioned that he needed a mic. Read the thread properly before commenting.

Guys thanks for your suggestions but MP21 exceeds my budget initially thought of spending 1k but now restricted within 700 bucks looking for some other good suggestion. Although this one Philips SHM3600 Earphone with Mic is not in-ear is this good? anyone own it.
