Looking for some decent earbuds to suit my music taste under $25. So far i've come across the Pioneer SE-CL721-H earbuds but they are designed specifically for bass..would that matter? Cheers

I have not heard the Pistons, but they do seem like they could be a great choice for you, based on what everyone is saying about them in the Piston thread: http://www.head-fi.org/t/703651/the-xiaomi-pistons-thread

cheap and pretty decent for under $25.  And they are comfortable as well.

They've been discussed on the forums here.  A search will turn up some more reviews.
 
I use them for metal and have no real complaints.  They aren't heavy in the bass but are pretty clear
