I am wondering if there's anything 50-60 dollars, preferably at walmart as I have a gift card from work. I was hoping if there's anything that has good full bass, and overall just really decent quality? I had some vmoda vibes that were around $100 in 2010-2009, and they sounded amazing. I see they're around 30-40 bucks now, so hopefully walmart carries something decent with that kinda quality or better. Any recommendations are great as these Apple Earpods are terrible.

If anyone can recommend anything as I know there's a lot of value going around on budget, that'd be great. Amazon.com works for me too as I know a lot of stuff from last year and the year before goes down significantly. I'm reading these headphone reviews, and they're outstanding for 25 bucks. 
 
Symphonized NRG Premium Genuine Wood In-Ear -- Can anyone tell me if these are any good? Reviews say so. But I'm curious to hear it from someone here as well.

If anyone has any advice on something in the price range on amazon, or if the headphones I linked to are good enough.. that'd be great. Thanks!
 
 
EDIT: Sorry for the third post, accident.

How about the Soundmagic ES18S? I have the ES18 without the mic and it sounds great! 
A great bargain!!!! I am listening to it now, even though I have other more expensive IEMs.

Hmm interesting. Well I'm not on THAT much of a budget, lol. I just read for 25 dollars on those other headphones I posted that they were excellent. If there's anything anyone can recommend for the $30-55 dollar range, that'd be great! I really want something decent that sound really great that I can carry around with me and have an iphone mic.

The asian headphone thread has a few fun sounding gems.
Check out the ttpod t1e and xiaomi piston 2 (be careful with fakes. Penonaudio's website and ebay seller named bigbargainonline is a popular source)

Hmm thanks! I'm reading about those ttpods t1e, and they look amazing. Just not sure if first of all, they're real on amazon. Secondly, if they're a good bargain for 50 bucks as they only have 3 reviews on amazon and thats fishy.

Eh, I still have my iPhone mic. After reading some impressions, I had to chip in and buy them. I'll report back! I'm no audiophile, but I couldn't resist for 50 bucks!

For others in the same situation, if they think the ES18 is too inexpensive, the Soundmagic E10 sounds very similar to the ES18 but has metal enclosures. 
There is also a version with a mic and controls that sells for around $40-45. I love my ES18. Now it is available in black with a black cord, which looks much better than 
the other colors.
