Suggest Away.

No noobs please.

I am no audiphile, but I don't want any Monster, Bose (good, but overpriced), Beats etc :p

E: Wow!
~$7 and great reviews from HeadFi?!

Oh wow that headfi thread is perfect thank you! I'm sure I'll definitely find something I'll like and try out from there!

E: D: Oh God that thread is damn overwhelming!
E: How the hell did this guy get access to all of these ear-buds?! And why did he take the time to make a detailed review for each?!

I always use those Apple headphones that come with the thing. </3

The new set the ship out with the iPhone5 are pretty awesome. :I

No problem :) And Im guessing he bought each pair and tried them out. :P
There were times where I found a good deal on headphones, but after a day or a week, the sound is dead :/

Well, if you are still looking, try the SkullCandy 50/50 2012 model.
Also the Ink'd 2

Hope this helps!

Dude thanks for the $7 recommendation…totally ordering a pair! (btw I just ordered these off of ebay [haven't arrived yet]: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/280961506240?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 they have good reviews)

No problem guys :) if people are HeadFi are going crazy about them, they must be good!

Only recommendation was to use tips that you already have/like or buy good aftermarket tips.

Forgot to say I currently use Sennheiser CX200:
http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-CX200-Twist-To-Fit-Earbuds/dp/B001EZUQ5E

Love them! But they broke, it's repairable, but I have no time/tools to do it right now and I have a lot of $ on my Amazon account so I decided to just buy/try something new!

Just ordered my pair from monoprice's website, I'll pick up some new tips from ebay :D (I'll definitely need new tips because I have small ears)(like anyone cares)

Since this is turning into an Earbud General thread :p
Tips Suggestion:
(Pricey, but seem to be VERY good, I'll maybe get some eventually….):
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Comply+Tx

Generally though of as good:
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-EPEX10A-BLK-Replacement-Earbuds/dp/B001RB24UA/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1349464451&sr=1-1&keywords=sony+ear+tips
^ Not sure if they come in a 1 size pack :/ it's lame getting multiple sizes though when you only need one!

Also MAKE SURE you know your size before ordering, most people are medium/small size.

Also, proper ear-bud wearing technique.
May seem like BS but it REALLY helps with sound quality, comfort, and sealing off of ambient sound!

Got the Monoprice 8320s
http://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-Enhanced-Hi-Fi-Isolating-Earphones/dp/B007VEQ2UU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1349470121&sr=8-1&keywords=monoprice+8320

I'm just fine with the standard tips, see no problems with them, maybe my ear holes are a bit big?

They sound nice, I'm very happy with them, and for oily $10 shipped, DEFIANTLY worth it!

Tbh the ones I get from Asda (or what people in the states call Walmart) are the best ones, they are cheap like 10-20 quid and they last for a bit, wouldnt go mad on headphones/earphones because i usually end up breaking them or losing them so in my case getting loads of cheap but good quality ones is what i do
