x2 on Siege. Using them right now. Worn them for 4hrs at a time without discomfort, unlike the Ultimate Ears (super.fi 3), Shure, Sony, etc, that I've owned. They also have the best audio quality of any set of phones I'd owned that cost under $150, and you can get them for $40 or less!
I'm currently using them exclusively to go through the entire 1800 song collection from the 2009 SXSW Festival and I couldn't be happier.

I only have the headphone model without the microphone, but I look forward to using them with my Pre, ASAP.

Can you say more about the magnet feature? I dont understand what you mean. Is there a picture that you can point to?

thanks,

Each bud has a magnet in it so they'll "stick" to each other. Put them around your neck and they'll "stick" to each other, which keeps them from falling off your shoulders or hanging to the ground.

I don't have a picture, but just imagine a doctor's stethoscope when she takes it off. She puts it around her neck, for convenience.

These earbuds could be put around one's neck similarly - except with the use of magnets.

Is that clear?

For a cheapo pair of headphones that are nice, I like the Sennheiser CX-300s. You can usually find them at $30-$40 on a good discount. I currently use some Etymotic ER-6i headphones that I love, but they are more around $70-$80
