Does the EP-630 definitely have Y-type cords? Bass? Similar frequencies? Good sound?
But it's still a bit pricey... :\

The EP-630 does have Y-cord, and nearly identical(if not identical sound do the cx300) which means a HUGE amount of bass. Refer to graph for more info.

So the MX500 isn't very good...
Are there different types of CX-300? I see yours is CX-300-B. What does the B mean?

B just means black.

BTW, the ideal headphone has a gentle graph with a slight bump in the bass and gently rolled off highs, the CX300 is a a bit bass heavy.

Yeah, I'd recommend Ultimate Ears 10 or Sennheiser Orpheus, for starters...

The Orpheus is not really very portable. Absolutely incredible sound though.

You might want to try out something like

http://www.headphone.com/products/pa...se-package.php

Considerably more portable than the Orpeus and still has awsome sound.

Of course, another setup that would leave you tied to the power line and mortgaging your kids:

http://www.headphone.com/products/he...om-max-amp.php
&
http://www.headphone.com/products/he...ser-hd-650.php
&
http://www.headphone.com/products/ca...hd650-10ft.php

Of course, a set of Koss KSC35 or KSC75 will give you very good sound for the price of a tank of gas.

I was looking for a pair of headphones but only wanted in-ear ones. These were the best I could find

I have a pair myself and I can tell you, for in-ear phones these are the best value for money. And plus they're new, the price that will steal your wallet will get smaller.

Remember that price is in singapore dollars!

I disagree; I believe the best in-ear phones for the money are the Altec Lansing iM716, which can be had for $70 through Amazon when they get their stock back.
