Okay, I use 10 dollar Sony earbuds right now and the biggest problem I have with them is that the earbud covers fall off sometimes. Seems kind of petty compared to the people with 300 dollar ear buds and how amazing they claim the results to be.
I also have a pair of 40 dollar (and quite large) headphones which I use for the computer, long travel, and places where I want my music to be limited to just my ears.
I suppose my question... although hard to formulate... is does someone like me, a non audiophile who doesn't know the difference from a great sounding headphone to my 10 dollar sony's need to spend 150 on some earbuds? I'm VERY WORRIED that they will break! I am a college student so I need to throw my ipod/ear buds into a pocket or backpack and I travel a lot with them so I'm worried about the durability. Sorry for the jumbled post, but essentially the problem comes down to: cheap headphones that do the job vs really nice headphones that might increase my listening expierence although make me paranoid about breaking them.....
Anyone else in my similiar situation or willing to help a novice ipod'er out? Thank you very much in advanced because this forum's posters seem to know their stuff!
