So my Bose in-ear buds are starting to break and I need some new headphones. I don't care if they're over-ear, on-ear, or in-ear as long as they sound good and have really nice bass. Prices limit is around 100 USD.

Your first problem was buying bose, but beside that, I just won a pair of sennheiser CX 680s, and I love them as far as earbuds go. Water resistant and great levels on the whole spectrum. For headphones I use my ultrasone DJ1s. If you want earbuds, get the senns, headphones get the ultrasones, or sony MDRs

the skullcandy earbuds are on geartalk for 12 shipped, another ns showed me these, which i bought in my local mall for 20......i love them because i am tall and ipod earbuds dont reach my pocket (and they also suck) and the skullcandy ones really block out quite a bit of outside sounds, id say quality 8.5/10 but for the price 10/10 you cant get any better for 12 shipped

Skullcandy headphones blow dick, don't buy them. I have JVC headphones, they have surprisingly good quality and it's been 3 weeks and I haven't blown them out, which is a long time for me.

your second problem is being willing to spend over $20 on headphones

Skull candys blow!

List of skullcandy products that I have broken in the last year.

Icon 2's

2 pairs of icon 1's

2 pairs of smokin buds(all within a month...no visual damage to headphones too)

Skullcandy pipe Ipod docking station ( soo shitty for 70$ too)

Seriously just because alot of pros use skullcandy does not mean they are good.

I'll think I'll go with those, as the first person to respond said. Waterproof, and they look durable as hell with the kevlar reinforced cable.
