budget :- within 1500 rs /
Usage :- for laptop as well as Mobile
My choice of music is wide. (not trying to be corny :) ).from Pyassa of Gurudutt sahab to Ghulam ali ,ghazals (i short except 90's ) all are in my playlist.I hear 2 pac to eminem or whiz khalifa.linkin,Pink floyd,Nirvana ,Bohemia etc (enough ? :-D )

I have been looking around for suggestions in different threads within my Budget.now i am totally confused.which one i should buy.within this range ,i know i won;t get the best of the pairs.but the beat within this is what i am seeking for

i have few options in my mind like COWON em1 (see lof od people pitching for it ) ,Senneheiser CX 180 (has great reviews on websites ), Tekfusion Twinwoofers .
i always wanted to buy skullcandy as my next earphone but i don;t see it's name in any of the recommendations :-( .maybe i was more hyped about it .
Now please help me in buying the beat one among those or anyother you suggest.i will buy the one with most +vs reviews

Thank you Bosses.Peace

Thank you Sandynator and Powerhoney for your kind suggestions. I really thought about twinwoofers but let's see how COWON works first.plus i had to be tight on budget this time.hopefully i will try to buy better or high end headphones once i get my Job :)

Patience got the better of me .placed order for Cowon em1 with mic .hope,it works good and snapdeal doesn;t mess up or else the blame will be on PowerHoney :twisted:

Congrats. I was going to suggest the Sony MH1C, the best known secret or whatever, according to Hi-Fi.
