Compare to apple earbuds?
I meant in terms of durability and sound

I have never owned an ipod, but I have tried ibuds from time to time. I cannot make any conclusions in sound but the metal turbine will be more durable than the plastic ibuds (obviously)

Yea i hope so

Once youll get a secure fit, youll love these earphones

I'm thinking about picking up a pair of these or the Dr. Dre tours from monster's b stock sale. I like my Head-Direct RE-0's but the durability has me worried about taking them with me. I had them for 4 months and the left bud stopped working, took 2 months to get a replacement pair. 
 
Mainly want to use them for walking to class or on the bus. Would these be durable enough for that? I can get the Turbine's for $39.95 and the Tour's for $49.95. Mainly for Rock, jazz, hip hop. 
 
Any opinions would be appreciated.
 
EDIT: I also was thinking I could get these and a squaretrade warranty if they are worth those prices.

It's certainly nothing exceptional. Treat it carefully.

That said, I am very impressed by these headphones. I got them last night and I am very much enjoying them. The soundstage is impressive for an IEM, and certainly for one at this price. The mids are decent. The comfort is superb, especially with some Sony single-flange tips. The comfort and the soundstage have caused me to keep forgetting that I'm wearing in-ears and not full portable headphones.

I havn't tried the tours, but I use the turbines for the exact same thing and their durable enough. also, I hear that the turbines sound better than the tours. Lastly, where are you buying the earphone from that their prices are so low? usually turbines that are being sold for that cheap are fakes.

Got me some $180 HDMI cable from that deal.

I have all three of the turbines, grey ones, golds, and coppers.  All purchased from amazon new.  I am not a fan of them.  They will sound great compared to your skull candy headphones.  there are a ton of fake monster headphones out there.
 
I think the copper and gold headphones come with a lifetime warranty.

 

[Selenium]

You don't like them yet you bought them all? Hmmm...

 

[pandab55]

Yeah, I tend to do that...waste of money.  I got pretty good deals through amazon, and i read the reviews so i thought i would like them.   It was pretty stupid of me.  My next set will probably be from westone.

I'm curious, what source were you using and what did you not like about them?  Compared to....?
 

 

[pandab55]

i was using my iphone 4 and ipad with these.   i honestly didn't even give them a fair chance and i still prefer my shures and triplefis.  to be honest, they sounded great, but i didn't like the fit and feel of any of them.
 
i have a listing to sell my coppers and i will sell the others too...
