are there any decent $50 or under replacements for the stock Ipod earbuds?

preferably white, but black works i guess

 

[sonicm]

any specific type of headphones you want? I'm guessing you'd like a bud? Would you care for an iem(goes into your ear and rests inside)

 

[diabloii]

yea

Under $50, go for the Sony MDR-EX81LP or the EX71SL if you don't like the style of the 81.

Or you could look for a used pair of E2C headphones for sale, they usually go for around $80 new, shouldn't be hard to find a $50 pair.

Sennheiser mx400 earbuds are popular among audiophiles.

 

[HeadBanger]

eh, i think the mx400's don't have enough bass, and if u were to get the senn's u might as well get the mx450, supposedly its a bit better.

CL EP-630.

I considered them a substantial upgrade from my MX400s, so they should destroy iBuds ( in theory)

I used to have a pair of Sony MDR-E818LP and they were even better than the stock Apple buds. Also you can get them for $8.99

I'd hate to break it to you but apple ibuds are basically the the benchmark of crap around here and cheap sony earbuds are not much better.

Sony Fontopias aren't exactly cheap crap, they're DEFINITELY much better than iBuds.

Not all sony buds are crap but quite a few are.

The EP630 is rather bassy and muddy though. Black in colour, unless you get the EP635, which is the neckband version, which I find rather ugly, but hey, it's in white!

save up, go to headphone solutions
and get urself a pair of decent IEMs, E500 = king of IEMs

dun waste money on cheap headphones, imo
get a good pair that'll last u for 5-10 years
