I saw these, somehow, during my searching on walmart.com for my local store. Found some earbuds, showing up as only $1! Though it was a deal, so I went through with a store pick-up, got a bunch of them.

A friend of mine that I showed the deal to, his store is showing $4.88 for them. So YMMV.

I included the Brickseek link for searching local inventory, DO NOT mention brickseek when looking for this deal. It's a hot-dealer's secret resource.

Edit: I've been using the "Teal" model, to listen to music on my cell, and skype on my PC, and they work alright. Cord is a little too short to reach to PC under the desk comfortably. Not super-loud, but maybe that's a feature (liability and all).

Click on the Walmart link, there are five colors to choose from. They all may have different prices, though.

I bought two pairs of these a while ago when I broke my last pair. I do alot of runnng and outside work while listening to podcasts. These both broke in two weeks as the wire came loose from the right earbud. Yes u get what you pay for with walmart earbuds.

Well, the pair I have been using is still working after two days, although it seems that the bass is less. Maybe I've damaged my hearing already, using them. I've never used earbuds before.

I was wondering around in the local Five Below store waiting for my daughter to buy something and I found a huge rack of wired and wireless ear buds. I found some BT buds for $5 so I bought them. They have good sound and seem to be well made. Time will tell if they will hold up.

Thanks @Lanyap !

It should be noted here too, that some lines of modern phones are doing away with the standard 3.5mm headphone jack, and moving to BT-only headphones / earbuds. Something to consider, if your current phone has a headphone jack, but you're looking to upgrade.
