I have been looking at earbuds under $50 and have come down to 2 choices:
Ultimate Ears - 350 Earbud Headphones
and
Audio-Technica Earbud Diaphragm Headphones model number ATH-CKM50ABK
both seem to be very good statistically, but I don't know for certain. If it helps, I listen to Punk, Rock, some Metal, and Indie/Folk. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks

The ultimate ears 350 and ATH-CKM50ABK are IEMs, not earbuds.
Why are you attracted to these? There are many choices under $50. Do you want an IEM with extra bass, or one that sounds neutral?
