Subject: Nice Earbuds?

Hey Flood, So, I recently heard music out of a pair of Bose speakers(yes, I've already heard that they're overpriced) and thought that it sounded much better than the fairly cheap pair of Coloud "The Pop" earbuds I currently use, so now I'm obsessed with finding a a pair of quality sounding earbuds. So recommend me me some nice earbuds Flood, looking for something durable and comfortable that really brings out the mids and highs but has decent bass aswell. Would settle for a headset but would prefer earbuds(easier to handle and are usually more comfortable to me) I can spend up to $100 but would much rather spend less(like $50)

I don't see why you'd spend so much on earbuds.
I find they are easy to lose and wear down or something like that.

I like these. They've worked quite well for me. If you don't need the remote, you can get the S4 for cheaper, I've seen them for $40 when on sale.

So, this baby seal walks into a club...

The best 100 dollar earbuds you could buy.

I faced a similar budget situation not too long ago and found these to be the best sounding. Klipsch makes great products in my opinion. You won't be disappointed.

In my experience, JVCs and Koss are pretty much indestructible. The pair of Colouds I'm using atm seem pretty durable to and being that they have a 1-year warranty, I expect that they'll at least last me that long.

I've actually looked at and considered getting these(the ones without the remote), but some of the horror stories in the reviews about them breaking easily and not being able to use the warranty to replace them cause they bought them on Amazon(don't know what other store would carry these) and this particular model is discontinued, kinda put me off a little(which isn't hard to do as much of a penny pincher as I am XD). Are these complaints founded or just the occasional fluke?

Mine have proved quite durable, had them for about a year, no tearing on the strain relief, no exposed wires, no audio problems. They usually stay on my desk or in my ears, but occasionally I'll accidentally tug (violently) them out of my ear. They appear to have sustained no damage. The only difference between mine and the new model is the cable, they switched to a (supposedly) more durable ribbon cable.

Bose IE2's. They're $90 but they're completely worth it. Amazing quality.

earbuds? I am being completely serious, the new Apple earbuds are fantastic.

I happen to be using them right now. The sound quality is great.

Well, now I got 3 different people vouching for these things and how good they are, haha. Any idea of a physical store that might still carry these? Only thing that comes to mind for me, is Best Buy. I figure it'd be easier to work stuff out with the warranty if I ever do have trouble with em, if I buy from a physical store rather than an online one.
