Looking for a really cheap pair of earbuds to use with my iPod.  I'm just going to keep them in my jacked pocket for those moments when I can't use my big headphones.  Basically the least ****ty of the ****ty earbuds.  If it matters, I listen to classic and alternative rock, and hip-hop.

The Panasonic RP-HJE120 IEM at $6 is a great deal. For around $18 the RP-HJE350 is very slightly better. So is the JVC HAFX67.
I say if you want to go cheap, get the Panasonic RP-HJE120.
 
If you can raise you budget to around $25, then consider the Meelectronics CX21, or for more bass but less detail get the meelectronics M21.

I absolutely LOVE my M6s from MEElectronics..they were only 14 bucks on amazon.  
 
They are quite bassheavy, however.  They sound great for hip hop and alt rock, but Im not a jazz guy..I doubt they would be great for jazz though.  Still, great iems for the money
