DD Audio DXB 1.1($50) vs Shure SE315($204) vs Klisph S4i($70) vs Minutio Bullets($60)
Alright I know this is not really a fair comparision but it will lay out what you get for your money and where it shows the most.
First the DD, DD is new to the personal audio. Props to their customer service on this one. I ordered off the DD4Life site, sending to my FPO address. I got the bill but after a week never got the shipping info. I emailed them and I got forward to the shipping dept. I already got my Shure's off amazon so I asked for a refund. Well i got a refund a few days later but recieved the headphones yesterday!! So the win in price goes to DD.
DD Pros:
Cost(free)
Fit and finish is great, the real wood speaker housing is very pleasing, the cable is woven and seems great quality.
Sound iso is pretty good for a mic enabled headphone
Mic and play/pause control
Cons:
A bit over exagerated on the low and high end but they still manage to blend.
Complex bass lines can sound muddy, such as Limp Bisket.
The sound stage is decent.
Nothing special with the ear peices, they fit like most in this price range fit.
Overall I'm trying to compare them to the Shure's, you just cant. For the price range they do outpreform others such as Skull Candies. Time will tell how they hold up.
Klipsh S4i
Pros:
Good ear peices
Mic with controls
Non-tangle cord
Cons:
Basic SQ, nothing special
They only lasted a few months and the housing cannot be taken apart to repair.
Overall the cord was very simple but thats about it.
Minuto Bullets
Pros:
9mm driver
looked pretty cool
Cons:
They only lasted a few minutes. I went to pull the ear peice off to change it and they fell apart.
Overall if they held up I might have more to say
Shure ES315
Pros:
Fit, they come with 10 ear peices so you will find one that fits so good you forget they are even there.
Sound stage is amazing. Not only can you see the stage you can tell when the lead singer starts struming.
Cord is replacable
Cord is very high quality
Adjustable wrap around
Very loud but will distort over 80% on the ipod, you will never need to go that high.
Iso is amazing, it seemed to make me sick to my stomach in the gym because I really could not hear anything else.
Cons:
The high quality cord is thick and at times annoying
No mic but you can get the cord, you do lose some iso though
Overall you get what you pay for. These are truly amazing, Shure's top level single driver in ear model. I may end up trying the $800+ 4 driver model one day.

If you are like me and compare how your car sounds to a good set of headphones spend the money on the Shure's
