Hi,

I want to buy dirt-cheap = cheapest available in-ear headphones.

Primary use: Listening music and audiobooks on my mobile phone (Nokia N79)

Audio Quality: Decent (not looking for extremely high quality, but not very bad either)

Budget: Cheapest, less than 500

I can buy online as well as offline.

Thanks in advance for suggestions.

Soundmagic es18 - 400-500
Great value for money, performs really well.

JVC marshmellows - 500-550
Good value, Though I prefer the es18 after comparing both.

1 year warranty on es18, 3 months on jvc
