Earbuds

[supaflyx3]

So I'm sick of using cheap apple headphones or skullycandys that break within a month or so. Now that I have some money I'm looking for some good earbuds, I'm looking to spend around $150 but ideally less. I'd really like to have inline controls so I can change songs while im biking without having to take my phone out, mic isn't required but would be nice. I took a look at the CX300's and they look great but no in line control from what i saw, monster also has some beats for $99 and I know theres a lot of hate for beats, but I honestly think thats about the right price point for those earbuds compared to the $300+ crap.

Pick your price range, look at the ratings compared to your expectations, check availability, voila.

The wife has these Klipsh ones.

Klipsch Image S4i In-Ear Headphones with Built-in Mic - Black/Silver : In-Ear/Earbud Headphones - Future Shop

Not bad but a little on the bright side for my audio preferences but they have a mic and controls. I've used the same JBL Reference buds I bought on sale for 1/2 price for years. I keep replacing the rubber heads with whatever is lying around the house because I lose them once in a while. But the buds just keep going. Sadly you can't get them anymore. They sound fantastic and are built to last. I don't know anything about their new models. :(

Did I help? Likely not. I just like to talk about my awesome nylon chord JBL Refs, lol.

That's a great thread, too bad I can't seem to find any of the really good ones listed in any Canadian retailers... Damn I'd like to buy something local for once!

I got the Shure SE215 locally in Calgary at Axe Music a couple months ago after reading through that thread, I think they've got an Edmonton location too, and some higher end Shure sets if you're interested in those.
