I'm not to happy with the quality of my iPhone ear buds? Could someone please recommend a decent replacement. Need to have an integrated mic so I can use it for phone calls.

I have varied musical preferances. From solo piano, country, to rock. 

 

Budget is around the $100 range. But I like value as well. So if I can get a $30 set that sound 95% of a $100 pair, I would rather go the $30 route.

There is the Sony XBA-1iP which is nicely balanced and with a good mellow sound, it doesn't excel at anything but still does everything really good. It can be had for about $88

And then there's the Soundmagic E10M which is about $40, it has a tight strong bass, slightly recessed mids and good treble which extends nicely, it's made of metal so it has a really good build quality.

 

I wouldn't say one them is better than the other but i still like the Sony best and would probably pick them even when they are two times at much as the E10.

 

If i were you though i would pick the E10 because they are really good and then save my money for something else, maybe a full size headphone.
