Wrong section... Should be in the Audio section...
Anyway, go for the Phillips SHE 9700...
If you are looking for good build quality, then try the Cowon EM1...
Btw, what genres are you gonna listen to???

I'm planning to buy this headphone(with mic)
Original Sony MH EX300AP Handsfree Headset Earphone FOR Sony Xperia Phones Black | eBay

SPECIFICATIONS

General
Case Type: Nylon case with slide out tray to hold headphones
Magnet: Neodymium (440kJ/m3) for outstanding bass performance in a small driver
Plug: L shaped stereo mini plug
Audio
Driver Unit: 13.5mm diameter, dome type (CCAW adopted)
Frequency Response: 5-24,000Hz
Impedance: 16 ohms at 1kHz
Sensitivity (db): 105dB/mW

AS far as i know,
Bigger driver unit means better
Larger frequency range is better
Impedence & Sensitivity also bigger number is better

Correct me if i'm wrong ??

So the Sony one seems better

Its seems better than the Samsung ones......... Also I'm getting it for Rs 320 from eBay, so i guess its good enough for that price

For 600-700, i can't find a suitable one with mic
