Sony MDR-EX75 Stereo Headphones http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/reviews/entry/sony-mdr-ex75-stereo-headphones/ which seem to be of good value. Main reason I don't like the original ipod headphones is they don't have any bass at all. Thanks for suggestions. edit: also something durable   | ||

V-moda Vibes (first generation) probably have the best sound/price, but they've only got a 1 year warranty. I think Shure has been making some cheaper earbuds, but they look thinner than their previous models. My Sennheiser CX300s are cheap and have a lot of bass (maybe too much) but I think I prefer the sound of my original Sony EX71 to them. So I guess I'm saying those are a good choice, depending on how much you can get for them. I've basically decided to never spend more than $50 on earbuds again because every $90 pair I've had have died from exposed wire or one of the buds randomly dying, and I treat them fairly well. The budget buds I've had (Sony & Sennheiser) have lasted longer, and I don't mind replacing them. The sound is obviously worse, but sound quality is one of those things where ignorance is bliss. If you're getting headphones, then Grado SR60/80 are fantastic, as are Sennheiser HD280s. I've got the 280s right now and these things are built like a rock. Not good for a portable device, but excellent on a computer. | ||

I'll probably buy them when my ex75 breaks. If you want high sound quality/ audophile stuff, you should look into real headphones (the ones that cover your ear). Grados, Sennheiser, and Audio Technica all have good headphones for under 100. I currently have a ATH-AD700. I like it a lot, but it's too hot in the summer  check out Head-fi: head-fi.org | ||

http://head-direct.amazonwebstore.com/Yuin-Pk2-Earphones/M/B001B484D4.htm?traffic_src=froogle&utm_medium=organic&utm_source=froogle but perhaps you actually want something in-ear. Look around headfi forums for an hour and then just pick something and be satisfied: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/ | ||

I would stay away from sony, usually their build quality is not good for the lower price range, and for more money there's usually way better options. Shure is tempting cause of the "oh im an audiophile" effect, but the cheaper models don't seem to have the same build quality as the rest of their line as I have read from experiences. Senn's cx300 have good bass, maybe too loud for some people and they have a very good price/quality ratio, but there's a million chinese copies luring around, specially on sites like ebay. So try to find them closed in blister, never oem and check fake checking guides for them if you are going to buy them. Creative's ep 630 are good too, nice bass, nice isolations, affordable. Yuin Pk2 i only tried them once, and they sounded good. They get a lot of good reviews, dunno what price they are currently sitting at. AKG is a very good brand. Their headphones are really comfy (at least the ones i tried) and they have great build quality. They also look good :3 Etymotic er6, super fi 3, etc. Imo with audio it's about trial an error. Get to try them, see which ones are comfortable for you. People have different head sizes, ears. Some love in-ear, some feel like they are getting raped when they put them on. Street usually requires in-ears to listen to music at a safe level, unless you are fine with walking in the street with big headphones, some people are. Don't buy gaming headphones for music. Never. | ||

I have their top-line E530 and it is not worth the $250 I paid for them. Super nice details but a more than annoying cutoff of high freqs. Creative EP630s are a good cheap ear canal choice and I've gone through 2 pairs already ... $25 I think. Koss KSC75 are also supergood cheap choice and a must-have imo ... the sound on this thing is amazing and is considered the best in terms of sound-quality to $ I think of any 'phone. There are lots of reviews and discussions on head-fi.org if you're interested. +1 on the Koss KSC-75s for their price, they're a great a value and worth more than the cost http://www.amazon.com/Koss-KSC75-Portable-Stereophone-Headphones/dp/B0006B486K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1250752460&sr=8-1 they lack oomph in bass, but they're just so fun and lively to listen to. they're not perfect. they'll distort with some songs, but for headphones under $20, they're pretty amazing. please note though that the KSC-75s have a 60 ohm impedance while the Sony MDR-EX75s have a 16 ohm impedance. what this means is that when plugging into a MP3 player, the MDR-EX75s will have a higher max volume than the KSC-75s. read link below for explanation on impedance. http://www.practical-home-theater-guide.com/headphones.html | ||

http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/headphones/audio_headphones/in_ear_headphones/index.jsp Worth checking out. I've only been using them for a week though. Shure is a pain in the ass. Seriously. I bought the SE210's, and i've had to send them in for repair 2 times now. | ||
