ok i have a friend who uses an ipod.
she has been listening to the stock ipod buds, and for giggles, i switched them out w/ my v-moda bass freq (that i got off someone for 20$) which i carry around everywhere.
For one, i could not take more than 10 minutes of listening w/ the horrible ipod stock buds, and two, she wouldn't give up on the cheap iems!

so i want to get her some cheap IEMS that she can use for isolation as well as for R&B and occasional hiphop.

what would be some IEMS that i can get her for the price range of 20-30$ish?
thanks.

jvc marshmallows come to mind. I modded one of these today and after intensive burn in, they sound amazing for the price you pay.

I'd rather listen to good music with bad cans than listen to bad music with good cans -> MUSIC FIRST!

The Rest of the Collection: Ultimate Ears Super 5 Pro (Decent all around headphones, lack bass), Super.fi 5 EB (very underrated...

I have the OVC TC20s, the Marshmallows, and EP630s. I think the TC20 are distinguishably the best of the three.. and a couple of others.
