Bought a Pair of Ear Buds. Why.

[terminator363]

Alright, so I use some nice Sony headphones and I needed some ear buds for my trip to Europe this summer. My headphones are too big for traveling so I picked up some MDR-EX10LP ear buds. I thought that with my previous experience with Sony I would love these. I try them on and it's literally just as bad as those free airplane headphones they give you pre-flight. The bass was awful. The highs were dreadful. Guys, help me pick something out so I don't make the same mistake. $30 or less. I got those for $20. In return for your help you will receive a cookie.

Try Koss headphones. They've been in the headphone game for almost ever and the sound quality is very nice for the price. They have different buds varying in price so I would look at their website to find what you're looking for.

Anything from this list should do the job well enough.

Monoprice 8320, or Audio Technica CKM33's (which are just a touch over $30 on Amazon) would probably be your best bet.

Yeah, KOSS is the way to go if you can pick one up on sale. They're great headsets, I'm looking into the SB-45 myself. Their headphones and ear buds are just as good.

I'll have a look and see if anything turns up. Userally the $5 jobs from discount shops are better than $30 jobs, from what I've used, but I"ll have a sqiz anyway.

AKG and Sennheiser ear buds are good quality and fit into your budget too. I don't know if you want loud or clear bass, but AKG ear buds sound alright and balanced to me (I have a pair of K309's).

I've been rocking a set of JVC Marshmallows for something like two years now and they're great from what I can tell, and they cost something like $20 at Walmart. Downside is that after a while, the foam starts to break down and they're horrible dirt collectors. It's never bothered me though, and I'd consider buying a new set.

Still rocking the Sony MDR-EX35LP's I bought a while ago for listening when out and about. They are good enough.

I wrote a review on here on GTP, I'm sure Sony have an equivalent model today.

I got some very good ones(forget the brand) but they were $60 and I got them for my Zune, it had very good bass and good high notes.
