    I had a pair of the Sennheiser CX300 isolating earbuds for the last year or so and they have been amazing buds. However, a few days ago my rabbit got to them when they dropped off of my desk. So, I now need to find a decent pair of headphones to replace them. I was seeing if anyone had any other headphone suggestions other than another pair of CX300s that might be cheaper/better since some time has passed since I first bought them. I'm trying to avoid going over $50, and cheaper than that is even better.

    I'm not too sure that a rabbit would be able to pay for some new headphones! The Shure E2c earphones are down from $100 to $50 on Amazon and they get a good write up from review sites as well.

    Headphones or earphones? For headphones, you can get some pretty good Sennheisers for below 50. Not familiar with earphones at all.

    Although to be honest, I still support the killing/consuming of the rabbit in question.

    My rabbit is smart, always goes after something that is important, like my PS2 controller cables, my audio cables, and my component cables.

    But she is too cute to ever be mad at... especially with the bunny look of innocence when you catch her in the act.

    Just bunny proof the place and watch out for chewables.

    I really wouldn't recommend doing that! Part of what makes good earphones good is the quality of the cabling. Introducing a second type of wiring to an audio setup can severely diminish quality!
