By in ear, I dont mean the noise cancelling ones that stick in your ear.
Well I really like the Apple iPod headphones (ones that come with the iPods) because i think their sounds quality is the best.
But they are quite pricey.
My question is, are there any good headphones with just as good quality, maybe even better, that is the same or (hopefully) cheaper in price?
Remember - SOUND QUALITY is the MOST important for me.
Thanks!

The ones in my sig Sennhieser CX300's, which are not noise cancelling but in ear
EDIT: http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-CX300-B-CX300-Earbuds-Black/dp/B000E6G9RI/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1217712850&sr=8-1 actually a lot cheaper now. $29.99 Thats an excellent price, they are usually around $40-59, and roughly £30-40 here in the UK in retail stores
The CX 300's aren't top of the range in terms of quality but they are a lot better in quality than the iPod headphones (as the iPod stock headphones are considered average/poor quality, so to a regular joe like me they sound awesome. Otherwise you're looking at the $100+ price range for top quality headphones like Bose or Shure

I think there were some on Buy.com that's like $10 for 3 pairs of Phillips in-ear headphones. I don't know if the offer is still valid so you'll have to check for yourself.

The OP is referring to EAR BUDS not IN-EAR.
In which case I don't know, I'd like some myself.

Sennheiser and Sony make some pretty decent cheap earbuds. I've also heard good things about the JVC ones...I have an old pair (by old, I mean 15 years old) and they are pretty good for what they are.

I've heard good things about the 'Kanon MD-52'. You can find them on EBay for $10 or so. Obviously they're not going to be phenomenal, but might be great bang for the buck if you want something cheap and won't matter if you break or lose them.
Just google the name for more info. I don't have a pair but am probably going to try one too.
