Board 8 > What are some not too costly but still good earbuds?

(+) Yeah! (+)

The ones I use atm won't last me for much longer so I'll need to find replacement, don't know much about that stuff, last time I bought a pair was like 5 years ago.

Earbuds cause I don't like headphones, they seem to amplify bass more often than not and I don't like bass
that much.

So if there's any good deal out there let me know !

What's your price range? Klipsch and Shure are two good mid level brands that I commonly go for.

20 bucks would be nice.

At that range I'd probably go for a meleec M9 or something like a vmoda vibe. It also depends if you want an outer or an inner ear. I believe the M9 is an inner ear, but I used to own a pair of vibes and it's certainly not.

The vibes have sound quality somewhat similar to beats and it's focused more for listeners of Rap/Electronic. The enhanced bass is pretty noticable. The Meleec has good bass too, but not quite as good as the vibes.

However, vibes seem to have a somwhat high failure rate due to this terrible cloth covering on the wires. All it does it causes it to get tangled all the time and you can't tell if anything broke.

I guess I can find those in any good store dealing with those things?

In general, if you want to get good headphones you have to do online shopping.

Any good online retailers then? I pretty much only order online from Amazon, and I guess by online shopping you don't mean the websites of normal electronic stores.

Most companies/brands that sell headphones/mp3 related items will normally sell them on their site (although this is not always the case). But they usually have a list of authorized resellers too. A lot of times if you buy on amazon it's actually being sold thru one of these resellers.

Do those exist in like, button earbuds? Don't know if it's the way you call it but huh, like this :

I hate this : I find that rubber thing extremely uncomfortable.

I don't know of any earbuds with good quality that don't use a type of rubber. A lot of brands are interchangeable for actual tips and it depends. The pair of Klipsch i have though are really comfortable as they use a type of gel like rubber or whatever.

Also, if you find it uncomfortable you might have to size down since some inner ears are supposed to expand inside your ear for a fit.
