drop some money on good ones, it's worth it. i've been incredibly happy with the monster turbines. they cost 100 and the bass is unreal not to mention the sound quality is damn good

Fuck it. For that price, you aren't gonna get anything good, might as well go cheap:

They're good if you just sit and listen to your music, but if you're active with them in they break so easily.

i dunno what everyone has against skullcandy... i bought me some Smokin Buds in early june and have used them pretty much everyday since. Awesome buds, good bass, look sweet, volume control, theyre sweet. Get them!

I dropped some money on the skullcandy Full Metal Jacket, and they lasted me a solid 2 years of daily use. I would say the sound quality could compete with some of the lower to middle end bose models.

Traded them in last week for the Holua. Full wood body (lookin hot) and even better quality than the FMJ, in my opinion. Plus, the Skullcandy warranty is the best I've ever seen, so if they break, its no big deal really.

oh whoop, didnt see that you dont want skullcandies.

My friend got some from TJ Maxx for 10 bucks, ridiculous bass, but they dont really fit in the ear that well.

If you really want to drop some cash, which might be more effective than continuously buying new headphones, the Beats buds are insane. I tried them for a few runs the other day from the same friend (before I got my holuas) and they easily had the best quality I have ever heard from and earbud.
