Looking for a cheap pair of nice earbuds.

Hello all, im looking for a pair of earbuds... Im picky, so here is what i would like.

-White
-In-Ear Style
-Good Bass
-NO Distortion
-Capable of going loud
-Noise Cancelling
-Preferably under $25

If it helps, ill be listening to rock and want high treble, but also listening to some Hip-Hop/Rap and want good bass.

Thanks in advance.

 

If you ahve a TJ maxx or Marshals around, they (at least by me) have had really nice skull candy in ears for like $10.... reallllly nice!

 

If you can wait around, you can probably catch a deal on the Sennheiser CX300. I got a pair for $15 shipped awhile ago at Buy.com, but they're out of stock now. Slickdeals.net is a nice place to sit around and wait for deals.

 

Why do they have to be white? What do you have against black?

i got these for 20 at best buy a few weeks ago http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8964864&st=sony+in+ear&type=product&id=1218008398563 and i think they are really good for the money. I had to use the smallest adapter for my ears to make them stay in.

Whatever you do, Do. Not. Buy. Skullcandy. There are so many better options out there, it isn't even funny. If you like looking like a tool and having headphones with crap SQ, go right ahead, but if you actually value sound quality, get something else.

Here's an alternative.

JBuds J2

They're $25 and sound much better than what Skullcandy has to offer in the same price range.

Also, if you order them on Amazon before December 15, the company has a Buy One Get One free offer going on. All you have to do is send your Amazon receipt and color request to this email: [email protected].

Here's the thread on Head-Fi where a JBuds rep posted the BOGO instructions.

i must have gotten lucky, the $10 ones i got were better than my old $30 sony buds

 

Creative EP-630. http://search.live.com/cashback/products/offerings/4023/5724038

I have the EP-640 which is a slightly newer version, but the EP-630 seems to be available for less money right now and is supposed to be nearly identical. Bass is great, isolation is great, highs are ok but not great... oh yeah they're black not white, sorry.

 

I would choose from here (proven to be cheap and. good):

why white? please refer to this simpsons episode

You can get these for ~25 depending on where you buy them. They aren't (active) noise canceling, but nothing is for only $25 that I'm aware of.

Thank you very much everyone.

I will be checking them all out now.

+ 12 rep to all who helped me out.
i will have to do some today, some in 24 hours.


Currently im leaning toward THESE. (Sennheiser CX300)
I have some really nice Sennheiser headphones that sound excellent. So i would openly trust another product of theirs. Plus, a family member has the same ones (i think) or simmilar and i tried them, they were great. Still deciding, but i think these ones are for me.

White because i want them to look like Geniune iPod ones.
i know its dumb, but thats me.

 

I use the CX300's and they're very durable, some of the most durable headphones I've used/seen. They sound pretty good for the price too.

 

Why? So that everyone thinks you're using crappy earphones?

btw I want to get a car that looks like a genuine Kia...

 

iPod headphones are the worst, we've had about 20-28 of them crackle on us on loud volumes =/

 

check out this thread http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=324387 i have the Sennheiser CXL400. i think there still 25.00

 

lol. Well, so people dont think im using some crappy $2 MP3 Player. No offense to anyone with one.

 

Then some of us will think you're using a crappy 200 dollar mp3 player. C'mon.

 

Wait... you mean I don't have to pay Apple's prices... I can get any cheapo mp3 player and then get good earphones that look like the cheap ones that come with Apple's expensive mp3 players... and then everyone will think I have one of Apple's overpriced mp3 players? Wow this is great...

 

lol.

C'Mon guys... Thats just me.

For show at school and in public.

 

lmao, we can start this war if we really have to, but I assure you, I'll get dirty. Although I hear apple is releasing some dual driver headphones for around 80$, which are white. But from apples standards I'd expect them to perform around the 20$ range.

 

1 pair of myphonies costs 40

putting 2pairs of myphonies into one cost 80

that's some simple math there for our innovative leader steves mobs

 

Well, the black version of the CX300 is going for $20 on Amazon right now, if you're willing to let go of that "must be white" thing about your earphones. I personally have a pink pair of CX300's for their discounted price and I sincerely doubt anyone really pays attention to the color of earbuds I wear.

 

Guys, lets concentrate on the topic of this thread. If the OP wants a pair of white earphones then let it be, its not like you can go ''No, you can't.'' and then he wouldn't buy a pair lol... Please keep the posts on topic which is to help him to find a pair of white earphones within his budget.

@OP...lets not provoke anything either hey?

Another vote for the CX300.

I vote against the CX300. I didn't get on with them.

Instead, I suggest the Koss SparkPlug. I've been using the black version for several years. They are a bit fiddly to put in properly, but once in they stay in, have good sound isolation and no noise from the physical movement of the wires.

Thanks, but i found a pair of them for $17 on Amazon. And not to bring it up again, but they are my preferred color.

lol.

Yes, i wont. Sorry.

Anyway, im going for the CX300's/

Thanks everyone for your input.
