I know i saw a bomb ass thread on this like 2 years ago but the searchbar sucks and tech has changed. Im looking for personal experience, which means that you have owned them/ used them for an extended period of time.
+
For $60 bucks or under

things in order of importance
1.Sound Quality- good sounding all around, heavy bass is fine but not needed
2.In ear
3.Durability
4.Cheapest price
5.Look (doesnt matter)

skullcandy's for under 19$ you cant find a better pair in my opinion.  Not sure why people spend 100+ on earbuds when they are prone to break so easily.

the klipsche s4. you can get them around 75 bucks. come with 3 different sizes of fittings for your ear. and a case. which i still use..

the specs are great. and the sound quality is awesome.

the frequency response is 10hz - 19khz, which is sick. most in ears cut off at 30hz and only go up to 16 or 17khz. the low end on these are amazing, because of these going down to 10hz you just get that extra to it, and it doesnt seem shallow or cut off. and of course the same goes for the high end.

you can get the s4i so their phone compatible. but those will cost you upwards of 100.

this is the case. seriously. you wont be disappointed. amazing headphones, for an awesome price. i worked with audio engineers that love these things for their every day headphones. and as i work in the audio industry as well, i can tell you, that again, you wont be disappointed it.

Jvc hafx101 are way better than skullcandies and are only 20 bucks on amazon. Comparable to the s4's. I think they are better. Sound quality is great, for the proce they cant be beat. Great bass if you use. An equalizer.

I've had these for a year and I absolutely fucking love them. clear sound, strong but not overwhelming bass, comfortable but also stay in your ear like theyre glued in.
