I'm downgrading from my normal headphones for earbuds... i know they're worse or whatever...

What are your personal preferences n such? btw, i've got smaller ears n i ain't gonna spend more than $150 (if that;s even possible?!). I was looking at some dank phonaks audeo pfe's, but i thought you guys would know best.

+k for helpful suggestions

I enjoyed my skullcandy buds for their whole 3 weeks of life.

Fuck skullcandy headphones.

Senheisser (sp?)makes good, affordable (20-200 depending on your taste) My friend bought some 25$ ones and they work great. I have WESC bongos for everywhere off the ski hill and a pair of 5$ walmart earbuds for on hill. also, my Skull Candy's lasted a whole 1 month, I got warranty and those lasted 2 months. the warranty on SC is great, but if you enjoy listing to your music every day of the month rather than having to talk to warranty over and over again I would stay away.

I was able to find a really good deal on some Monster Turbines and I am a big fan. Really clear sound, good bass but not overpowering, and they have a 2 year warranty and metal housing so durability isn't an issue.

No matter what earbuds you decide upon, get some Comply Foam Tips to go with them. They block out sound like crazy, are quite comfortable and give they help your buds to stay in a lot better. Getting some of these makes every earbud better and they make a style for just about any type of bud there is. Check 'em out here: http://www.complyfoam.com/

just bought a pair of razers, hopefully they'll last longer than my 2 pairs of Nixon's, which was around 3 months each.

Fuck all that^ minus the sennheisers. Get yourself some nice Klipsch earbuds. Or maybe some Hippo Shrooms, or Kicker(yeah, the subwoofer company) earbuds. The Klipsch ones look a little fruity, but they sound great

Whatever you do do not buy the Dr. Dre buds off eBay. They may seem awesome because they are 50 bucks new, but they are fake. Surprisingly a lot of people fall for it.
