Amazon.com always has great deals, but unless you have an American friend, you're out of luck. I haven't seen them anywhere in stores. I got my pair off eBay.

just my 1 cent... you better have a normal-to-big-sized ear to be comfortable with the elastomer material hanger.. the sounds great and everything but because it won't fit my ear perfectly, it affected the effectivity of the earbuds from outside noise..

probably best bet even for $40 shipped to you is ebay... sold mine for $55 before in here :-0

You may be able to find it for cheap on eBay but beware of slow shipping (from HK)

It's 60$US at YesAsias (free shipping) and Audiocubes (with shipping)
Good luck!

$30? Good luck dude. C.mon, be realistic. You should expect to pay around $80-90 CDN for new, shippped, and taxes in.

SonyStyle Canada's MSRP is $90:

Find yourself an Amerifriend, that's the only way you'll get it for $40 Cdn.

Otherwise, go with Ebay, but it will cost you more than $50 after it gets to your door.

Look milhaus, i don't want to be rude but this is the request-a-deal forum, not the make-your-post-count-grow-by-saying-anoying-remarks forum :evil:

Uh, look, I'm not the only one telling you're being unrealistic. The best deal is via eBay, but it'll be substantially more than $30, and will be slow with shipping. If you look at the link, the MSRP is $90CDN, though you can get them cheaper. Other than that, find an Amerifriend to get them from Amazon. Nothing in Canada at this price. BTW, these are sweet earphones: corrected the bass problem with the 71s, but the over the ear thing is annoying.

If someone has an eCost coupon like "50% Off on your first order" it could be a sweet deal :D

How are the 81LP different from the 71LP and the 51LP?
I think the 51LP has a longer annoying cable since without attaching the two wires, you have a really short wire.

Also, the 81LP has an earpiece (not adjustable)

Besides that, I don't know what else is different?

if you don't then this isn't for you... also if you buy an earphone based on whether or not its gona match with your ipod then this isn't for you to.
