by trend i mean people on tdf and other forums are recommending Em1 over es18 due to build quality issues with Es18..

my ES18 is fine

+1 to EM1 and ES18

Ive got Philips 3590 for 400 bucks and this is the my second piece since the first pair was lost in the fire. The sound has a V-shaped signature and I use it mainly at work and while jogging. Good stuff. Check ljoker review of the same.

avoid the skullcandy
cx-300 can be had in that budget now
but +1 for the Soundmagic ones

i own the exact skull candy you posted!! great sound etc but very thin wires etc,get the senheisser its a much more vfm deal ,avoid cowon and creative as well(skullcandy and senheisser sound better)
also have a look at JBL-
JBL Tempo In-the-ear J01R Headphone Price in India - Buy JBL Tempo In-the-ear J01R Headphone Online - JBL: Flipkart.com
has excellent sound however senheisser has better treble

Stay away from the skullcandy ones..
+1 to ES18
or you may try Sennheisser mx170, personally using them and they are pretty good..

Go for SoundMagic ES 18
My ES18...

using ES-18 and till now the second one has survived without any kind of wear and tear. first one's wire insulation broke at multiple places (without affecting sound) due to rough use within a year. using both.

Bought sneheiser CX 180 yesterday from eBay for 645, best earphone under 1000 IMHO.Stay away grom es18 its pos.Previously owned ep630.Cx180 has more refined sound than ep630 .

So it is either going to be a Sennheiser or ES 18. Atleast shortlisted it down to 2. Thanks guys! I'll choose one and go ahead with it very soon!

I also ordered CX180

I have used Creative EP-830 in the past and it is best for its (bass) quality and cost. Now I'm using JBL tempo in-ear(Rs.950), it has less bass compared to EP-830 but the sound is good.

CX 180 is crap!!! Avoid... Period!!!

Go for the EM1 for build quality or the ES 18 for sound quality!!!
