The Best Earplugs under 1000: Sennheiser CX 180

The best earplugs/earphone (whatever you prefer to call it) in the market as of now is The Sennheiser CX 180 and I can assure you this with the experience I had. But before I go any further, you might be thinking, Why Sennheiser? - 
I tell you, not only sennheiser is the best in sound quality but also it comes with a decent budget. Earplugs like Skullcandy or Bose or JBL might seem nice but they actually aren't, the reason being that they spend most of their money on advertising/marketing rather than on the quality whereas Sennheiser does the opposite and is still in high demand, that is why Sennheiser.

Okay, I assume most of you have already been looking for the earplug and have gone through the technical specifications because thats why you are on this page. well, if you haven't, check it out here.

My Experience: I listen to soft soothing music and EDM's, I require the treble and the bass just to be in the right mix and it did well over my expectations. Currently there is nothing near around the 1K price range which I would recommend over the CX 180. The dynamic drivers aren't the best around, but they are very good for the price. I have used a lot of earphones in my lifetime (Skullcandy, JBL, Bose,Sony etc) but still these are the one I prefer to use as a standby. I do not intend to boast but I use Shure SE215 which cost near around 8K as my primary earphone whose review I'll do later.
The dynamic drivers are very good and they're able to produce tight bass without sacrificing detail or clipping at higher volumes. Treble is not irritating when you crank up the volume, and sibliance is kept under check. Over all these are really well for the price.
The build quality of this is decent. The headphone is very light and can handle drops, bangs etc. The cables are made from soft compound rubber, which tend to get tangled if you tend to put them in your jeans pocket a lot.
One of the main reasons I would recommend you this one over the other brands is the brand itself, you screw up this for any reason, then just take it to a sennheiser service center, and voila!, you're given a new one. The warranty period is 2 years which is long considering the cost is lesser than 1K.
As a whole I would totally recommend this to everyone.

Now, another thing I would recommend you is to Buy it in the stores nearby so that you can get it in your hand as soon as possible :D   Or If you're planning to buy it online, prefer Amazon over flipkart, snapdeal, ebay etc I can tell it from my personal experience, it offers better services as in customer grievance handling, service quality, price competition, after sales service and so on. I am including a link below for Amazon. Thank you, hope it helps.
Note: The one in the link are supplied officially by Senheiser, for Rs 839 the other one on this link costs Rs 800, but prefer the former no the latter.
