Headphones

[9mak9]

I have gone through like 5 sets of headphones in the past year...they haven't really been great quality but still.

I wanted to get a good pair of noise canceling ear buds but I don't want to spend enormous amounts of money for one (probably looking for one around $50 to spend). Any advice on good ones to get?

I also keep tearing the base of the headphone that connects to my ipod...not sure if I am just bad at taking care of it or they were just cheap headphones. Not sure what else to do about that.

Thanks for helping

What you want are some noise-isolating headphones. In Ear Monitors, for example.

Sennheiser CX300 or CX500? Westone UM1? Ultimate Ears Super.fi 3? Audi-Technica CK7?

Supposed to be great. Don't like the idea of 'used' in ear headphones though...

The e2cs are very overrated. They're big and uncomfortable and IMO lack punch in the low end. Shure has a newer line of phones that are much better.
