<$50 earbuds

[geno]

Everywhere I look, it seems Senheisser (sp?) gets complimented for their sound quality on earbuds towards the top of this price range - but is there anyone else who offers good, clear sound at this price? I'm not looking for top of the line sound, but something to do my music justice. Any suggestions?

I was really impressed with the Creative EP-630. They sound very nice for <$30 but I'm no headphone connoisseur. I've heard lots of good things about them from others as well though.

I've been using the EP-630 for my portables for a while. They sound exceptional for their price and they do a good job blocking out noise too.

I'll toss out a recommendation for the JVC Air Cushions. HA-FX66 is the model number.

The Cushions are nice (friend has 'em). The Creative (I believe they use the same drivers as the Senns) is on sale at the Egg (Memorial Day newsletter code), and I'm considering buying it... Better than tip-modded Marshmallows, you think?

I'd really like a good cheap pair with an asymmetrical cord, but there's not much in this price range.

Of course, everyone seems to like a thumpier bass-heavy sound, though I prefer flatter response. Wish my Grados were earphone-shaped...

Is Sony worth looking at or are they all overpriced considering what you get for sound?

i like sennheiser headphones alot. ive got (off the top of my head) a pair of CX300's.

they're very good. but im looking at the Klipsch Custom-3 Noise-Isolating Earphones. the price is really high though..
