    Default i know you're going to hate me

    but i need a pair of in ear headphones

    but WAIT! i already searched the forums and came up with nothing

    i need them to be sub $20 (im not mixing with them, its for my ipod) it seems like all the pairs ive gotten like to stop working suddenly

    good on ear (not over ear) headphones for sub $50 would be alright too.

    if nothing comes up ill wait till after christmas and pick up a pair of hdj 500s (but this isnt preferred because ill be using these at school a lot

    my school is cool like that. they actually recommend using your ipod to 'keep you awake and alert' but we cant use them in class

    I've got these:

    And I love em. Rugged and whatnot and good sound quality

    HOWEVER, the cord for them is kind of ridiculously long. When I first unboxed it I was, at first, pissed off about the fact that I was going to have to deal with it but in the end it's not that much of a hassle to deal with and in some situations it has been useful when i want to walk away from my ipod a short bit

    yeah, i got some in ear ones before. i got the skull candy ink'd for $10 on amazon (regular price $20) and ive gone through 2 or 3 pairs of some JVC ones.

    the skull candies just died on me this morning (one head phone died 2 days ago, the other this morning)

    and the JVC ones (took me a year to figure out the problem) stop working if you give a firm tug on the wire and headphone in opposite directions. (yanking them from your ears slowly make them stop working). i think some connection on the inside is weak.

    EDIT: i want ON ear ones for their smaller size. otherwise i could just use my Denon hp 1000s i use for mixing

    I would always say go with quality if possible. At monoprice, you will find both. 100% kick ass quality on 90% of their gear. There are certain items that do not measure up to that standard, but the reviews will fill you in on whether to buy or not. If you do buy and it is no good, you spend $4.00 on something you can use for work purposes. No real loss.



    On the other hand....

    I buy all my high end cables/speaker line/connectors/adapters and even what I would consider disposable gear(because the price is so freakin cheap), here.

    You will be amazed, no...no...Blown Away, by the quality of the cables, interconnects, Mains, XLR, speaker line, security cameras, etc.

    You will find items like these here. At one time they were carrying the generic iPhone replacement earbuds with mic and volume control for under $5.00. I matched the sound quality with those that came with my phone and they were exactly the same....for $5.00. Looks like they don't stock those anymore, but have alternatives.


    Read the reviews for insight on the gear. For $20.00 you can get a couple of in-ear/over the ear, shipped in the US.

    The reviews on these are good...

    87.8% positive feedback on these


    $5.34 Product ID: 6343
    Bass Enhanced In-Ear Earphones with 13.5mm Cobalt Magnet - Gray



    86% positive feedback on these below: probably related to the fit
    $4.20

    Product ID: 6344
    Sport Earclip Earphones with 10mm Cobalt Magnet - Black and Green



    It seems the quality of all of these have improved over the last 2 years, so you might be in good shape for a few sets, based on the reviews.


    By the way....if you ever need any cables, connectors, adapters...iphone/ipad screen protectors or anything else....I have also been impressed by the quality and build of the iphone screen protectors, adapters (usb to iphone dock connector for $1.23...really Apple...$30.00? No thanks, I bought 10 from monoprice and they even had the chip in the dock connector to allow for charging. There are cheap Chinese alternatives that do not have the chip, therefore you cannot charge your iphone with those other cables. Ok, moving on...

    The prices are unreal and they are unbelievably fair in shipping too. I have not run across another shop that even comes close to price and quality. Just my experience and this is the reason (see reviews on anything there) I've shopped at monoprice.com for years.


    **My Experience**

    I did buy these: Rating 74% and yes, they are crap.
    Good for mowing the lawn so you don't ruin your good set.

    Cost: $2.56...yes, $2.56


    $2.56 Product ID: 5874
    Premium Sonic Isolation Earphones


    They even have cheap cans and USB cans:

    $24.65






    And $15.95




    ***Side Note***

    Replacement Pads for your cans cost more than a set of these cheap ones. I wonder if it would be possible to remove and replace worn pads and replace them with these, assuming they fit.

    If anyone decides to get these cheap cans, would you post if it is possible to remove the pads and use them elsewhere? Thanks in advance

    Ask this question at Head-Fi. Much more knowledge about iPod headphones/IEMs over there.

    Also, you might wanna come up with more descriptive thread titles than "i know you're going to hate me." It not only makes you sound like you're 17, it also makes it harder to find this thread via the search function. Something like "need headphones for ipod listening, $50 max" would be better iyam.

    I vote for these as well, I love them. But yeah, that cord is at least 20 feet long, although I use the little loop/clip that came with it and get them to a manageable size
