    Cin might have already posted this deal, I can't remember. It's fairly old but still going. Amazon has the JBuds Hi-Fi Noise-Reducing Ear Buds (White) for $9.99. They had the black pair at one time but they're now charging full price to get the black. They retail for $50 so they're 80% off which sounds pretty good to me. I would have bought a black pair a month ago but I didn't want to pay for shipping. But since I bought Windows 7 today it brought the total over $25 to get free shipping. As a bonus you get a $5 giftcard to Amazon MP3. So if you buy music at Amazon you're basically getting them for $5. I don't know how great the sound quality is, but $5 for a pair of earbuds makes it hard to pass up.

    According to the reviews they're worth $20. throughout the past 3 years. But half that is not bad. No free shipping below 25$ though. :(

    $5 for a pair of decent earbuds is a no-brainer. Keep in mind, if you ever find anything out of stock on Amazon, DO NOT go with a third party seller until you at least check out this www.azgizmo.com site. Especially during the holidays when a ton of items are going out of stock fast and the 3rd party "thieves" are swooping in to conveniently jack up the prices on the consumer. Could save you a great deal.

    Little strange to revive a 5 month old thread, but the deal is still good. I end buying one of these though. They're nothing too great. But at $5 it's nothing to complain about either.
