Author Topic: Need a good pair of earbuds, suggest me stuff (Read 1467 times)

SO, blogland,
My current earbuds are absolute stuff. I bought them for $20 and I regret it. They're worse than the stuffty dollar store earbuds. I hate them so much. One of the earbuds is fine, and the other will make this horrid clicking-scratching noise if you try to push it in and make the bass go to absolute stuff, like, all-you-can-hear-is-symbols stuff. It's that bad.

So, I need suggestions. Try to keep it < $50, that's definitely the most I'm willing to spend on them. They don't have to sound amazing either, just decent enough to not really forget up my music. I dunno where to look to find good ones and I've only ever used a few different kinds.

I use these, they are a pretty good value if you are on a cheaper budget

i've always went with these whenever I needed new earbuds, they're nothing amazing but they're cheap and pretty comfortable

I had a pair of these and they were great for the price, but imo the best you can get under $50 are these:

They're my go-to for earbuds. I had them for a few years before I lost them and they sounded better than a 80 dollar pair of sennheiser earbuds that I previously owned.

personally i'm using these: Westone ADV Alphas with blue foam tips, it's a bit more on the bassy side but overall they do well for me. they are literally bullet/sweat/water/everything proof as well.

These look cool but apparently there's a lot of noise if you rub the cables according to one of the reviewers. How was your experience with that?

nice sale
(Considering these)

Also considering the Skullcandy Ink'd, i'm hearing good things about those. Thoughts?

apple earpods, no doubt.

It's noticeable, probably due to its stiffer cable, but it never bothered me.

JVC brand tends to make good quality products for a good price.

I'm much more of a headphone person, so I don't have much experience in earbuds.

I only use these, all the other ones tend to fall out of my ears or aren't comfortable. I absolutely love them. They sound amazing and they've got control buttons with a mic.

treble is slightly higher but I think their good(from personal use). I'd use headphones if they didn't look so obnoxious and were so tedious to carry around.

cable is thin though

audio technica ath-ckb50s aren't too bad as well, i used them on a daily basis and they just died on me after 2+ years of intensive use. they are also cheap and extremely good at blocking out external sounds
