thing under $100us with good bass response.

several musicians from berlin enjoy the soundman okm series, from a small company in berlin who make binaural mics that look just like earplug headphones. they come in different versions and are also distributed in the u.s. - they're a bit over $100 but definitely worth the money. i've been using them for all kinds of recordings, including field recordings, with minidisc. needless to say, the stereo impression is great, and for recording social situations, it's well hidden, too.
