How are you doing?
I haven't tried the PL30.
The HJE450 has better bass than the HJE355, but much less detail. The HJE450 is much more similar to the HJE350 than to HJE355. The HJE355 is a newer generation product with much more detail. I keep waiting for Panasonic to introduce an HJE455, an updated version of the HJE450 with more detail.
The PL30 might be excellent, however the ES18 is a great bargain for just $12.
The Sony XBA-1 is now down to $26 on Ebay. At that price it is a great deal. It is a balanced armature design, and gives great midrange. Its bass is on the weak side though. The XBA-1 was originally around $80.

Hi JK98, how are you? Just a quick question - Have you tried the Soundmagic PL30's?
I bought the Panasonic HJE355 based on your suggestion and I had absolutely loved them. But I lost them recently. I would go ahead and buy one again, but I'm thinking about buying something else. Been looking at Soundmagic PL30 and Panasonic HJE450.
I'm interested in the PL30s solely for the positive reviews it gets about it's soundstage.
