Hey,
Looking for some replacement buds for my GF in small size. Looking to keep it under $10 shipped. Any suggestions?

 

[Agent_Moler]

anyone?

 

[ajjekko]

$10?
seriously?
i guess you could get the jvc gumyz for around $10, don't expect anything special though

 

[Agent_Moler]

dont have to be anything special, just something to replace a lost earbud. I couldn't find replacements on the sennheiser site.

I tried Gumys and thought they were garbage. Philips Bubble has had some ok reviews if you can find a pair, but I've never heard them.

As far as IEMs go here's what I can think of:
-JVC HA-FX34 marshmallows off ebay (kramer mod for extra audio points).
-Kingmass earphones off amazon.
-Meelec Ai-M2 off overstock.

But seriously, under $10 shipped for the gf? Mine won't go back to using $10 earbuds if I pay her. Maybe it's worth adding a little more and getting something decent?

If you can find it in your heart (wallet) to double your budget, these are my personal sub-$25 faves:

-MeElec AI-M9 ($19 - overstock) - Incredible detail for the price, very balanced, good treble extension and clean bass, great customer support
-Lenntek Sonix ($20 - costco) - Plentiful and deep V-moda-ish bass, focus on mids and lows, cheap, very well-built, great accessories if purchased with accessory pack.
-Soundmagic PL30 ($23 - mp4nation) - Fun, forward mids, lots of accessories, comfy

Are you looking for new headphones or for replacemnet silicon tips? if silicone tips the ultimate ears should fit the sennheiser headphones, (Amazon.com: Ultimate Ears Super.fi 3 Replacement Silicone Ear Tips: Everything Else) or look for something similar to these.

If she had CX300s, she is probably used to the bass. You may want to look at Sound Magic PL11s.

Check this thread http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f103/s...ucts-d-437759/ about Sound magic PL50s and other sound magic products, with the code you can get them (PL11s) delivered for around $12. Good buy I think!!!

 

[Agent_Moler]

lol you guys are killing my wallet. But thanks for the suggestions, keep them coming!

$10? Don't be so stingy on your gf.
You can find cx300 for $20 on amazon and jr.com. Give her the small tips and save the phones for yourself.

 

[Agent_Moler]

I dont need replacement headphone, i need replacement tips!! Besides I just spent a bunch of money on a vacation for us. Def not stingy

 

[jjmai]

you can also get comply foam T-400 for under 9 bucks from Skullcandy website.

Buds and tips are not the same thing. OP needs to change thread title to get the right info here.

 

[Agent_Moler]

yea, my bad. i meant eartips
