Good cheap pair of earbuds

[cloakster]

I have never actually bought earbuds before and have been using the PSP ones until i broke them just an hr ago So i was wondering what a good pair would be for around $15-30?

Thanks

They aren't earbuds, but these are my favorite headphones right now: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR-V150-...5161011&sr=8-1

They sound VERY good for the price (good bass), are quite comfortable, and won't break so easily (sturdier wire and whatnot). I've been using a pair for about 6 months or so now and still really like them; I wear them around campus and on the bus constantly.

If you absolutely MUST have earbuds, you can get a nice set of Skullcandy ones for pretty cheap. I've had a few pairs of these: http://www.amazon.com/Skullcandy-SC-...5161264&sr=1-5 in the past. They sound decent, but I seem to have problems with the wires breaking easily around either end (I've gone through way too many sets of various headphones in the past few years, even an expensive pair of Shure earbuds )

First ones: good.

second ones: crap.

F**k, i wish i lived in the US....the CX300's are $80 here

I was looking at the Sennheiser MX560's: http://canadacomputers.com/index.php...18&cid=HSP.891
Ive read some good things about them and they are at a decent price. Anyone know anything more about them?

Thanks for the responses so far :)

You should head over to www.anythingbutipod.com. They are pretty knowledgeable on lower priced earbuds.

I have a pair of Philips Surround Sound Ear Buds that I got for $7.99 on sale. I've never heard a pair under $50 that sound better.

The asymmetric cable lengths were irritating to some reviewers, but it doesn't really bother me unless they get pulled too tight in the first place.

I got those for Christmas, Phenomenal headphones. Ive never had a single problem with them, the bass in the headphones is remarkable, and if you buy the correct package you can get a connection for an amplifier for a guitar aswell with them. For cheap earbuds, go to your local electronics store and browse around. If you live in the states, Bestbuy. I dunno if they have BestBuys outside the states but, i know they are atleast national.
