    Good & affordable earbuds

    I am having so much issues lately with bad quality headsets from razer and tritton (Cables breaking and headband breaking) that I am deciding to use earbuds with an desk microphone to communicate. Do people have some suggestions on earbuds that are amazing for their price.

    They might find this one more relevant.

    Sennheiser CX200 are a great sounding set of earbuds for the money. Less than $23 on amazon (prime). Also do a good job killing any outside noise.

    Apple earpods? what.....


    Soundmagic E30 or E10 gets my vote, works for any style of music, comfortable. Really hard to beat around their pricepoint (~35$).

    Actually, the reviews I've seen of their dual-driver IEMs say they're pretty good for the price.

    Have you ever used them? They don't sound bad at all. Their old ear buds were terrible in my opinion, but I was actually surprised at how good the new ones sound. If you go to places that review audio equipment, almost all of them have nothing but good things to say about them.

    I've had two pairs of these for the last five years and they've never failed me (with the exception of when the first one broke after four years):

    Great bass response and a comfortable fit in my ears (they come with selectable silicone earpads in three sizes).
