View Full Version : Looking For Inear Earbuds under 50$
Title pretty much says it all I'm looking for good headphones under 50$ I've had these
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8005008&type=product&id=1155848368219
until now I've been pretty content with the sound quality but they have started to break after only having them for a couple of months. Anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks

Sony MDR-EX85... good value for money earphones with impressive sound.
ok well they are about 60$ and i found some for 36 on froogle http://www.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=1083191 seems like they are like the ones i currently have with the 3 interchangable ear buds. how do they hold up. I usually use mine when im going to sleep on my computer and just listening to music. Really my biggest question is how do they feel when you have your head on your side on a pillow and how would they hold up against that.

Here's a deal posted over on head-fi: http://www.costco.com/Browse/ProductSet.aspx?Prodid=11288114&cm_mmc=BCEmail_304-_-FOCUS-_-11-_-LenntekSonix
Only one person has received them so far, but he was very pleased for the cost. Amazon is trying to sell these for $70, so $25 shipped is definitely cheap.
well the ones that are on costco look a little different from the ones on amazon but not to much. The lenntek earbuds look more sturdy than the sony ones like for if i was going to sleep on them. They are also metal which is a plus and cost a bit less. So i guess the lenntek ones are my best choice out of the two.
bought the lenntek ones tyvm
got them today sound quality is good as far as i can tell im not much of an audiophile. The only thing I dont like is there is some odd suction which kinda makes my ears hurt it might just be that I just got them and am not use to them or something like that.

I am actually selling my Etymotic ER6i headphones, almost brand new. Please take a look in the classified ad section of the forums if you are interested.

If you want some really cheap ones but pretty good quality, try JVC Marshmallows...they work great for me, although you could probably find better. They are about $10. Skullcandy Smokin' and INK'd earbuds are supposed to be very good although I've never had them. I've seen them for $10 or less some places, but they are, most of the time, $20 or $30.

For $70, Audiotechnica ath-CK7
For $50, Sennheiser CX-300
For $25, JVC Aircushion
For $15, Skullcandy ink'd smoking buds
For less than $15, u wont get any great earbud. The gummy $10 is good for most cases.
