Hi! I'm in serious need of new headphones, and I was hoping for advice. Basically, there is no way I'll be able to spring for anything over fifty bucks. I'm a high school student whose parents refuse to allow to get a job because apparently that's too adult for a sixteen year old, so I have no cash, and am relying on them. They have set a limit of maximum fifty dollars (before tax, if anyone's wondering). I know I can't expect stellar sound at that price range. But up until now I've been stuck with very low-end headphones (usually around ten dollars, or, even worse, those dollar-store earbuds) and would like something half decent. The music I listen to isn't too bass-heavy, so that's not a major concern for me. I'm just looking for something decent. My main concern is durability. I don't treat my headphones poorly or anything, but I am fairly active and will be using them while running. These are likely the only pair I'll get for a long while, so I need something that'll stand up to a few hours of use almost every day. Finally: I'm in Canada. This mean they have to be available here, as I'm not allowed to have them shipped from the states because there'll be customs charges. I'd prefer over-ear but in-ear are fine too. does anyone have any suggestions?
P.S: Please don't reply with something like "Just wait to buy such-and-such brand." as that is in no way helpful, and kind of misses the original point of the post.
Thanks in advance for any help,
