I prefer koss (spark)plugs. I like the sound and isolation and they're typically 20-35$ per pair or cheaper. good bass, too.]]>Mar 15th 2010 1:23PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/15/the-best-earbuds-that-wont-break-the-bank/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/15/the-best-earbuds-that-wont-break-the-bank/Mar 15th 2010 2:50PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/15/the-best-earbuds-that-wont-break-the-bank/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/15/the-best-earbuds-that-wont-break-the-bank/If you'd like an over the ear (street style) headphone, Grado Labs makes the iGrado, which sells for about $50. I've owned Grado's for years and recently purchased their top of the line GS1000i.
The majority of the music I listen to anymore are FLAC downloads and they take up too much space on an iPod to be worth it. IPods and the like really don't sound the best anyway, no matter what the source data.
Personally, I'm really rough (skiing, mtn biking, etc...) on my earbuds and found the Bose to be pretty decent.
If the Klipsch mentioned in this article sound anything like their speakers, I'd definitely look into those! Klipsch and Shure have been in business a long time, which means they'll probably be in business, and would stand behind their product, in the event of a failure or breakage in the future.]]>Mar 15th 2010 8:11PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/15/the-best-earbuds-that-wont-break-the-bank/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/15/the-best-earbuds-that-wont-break-the-bank/Mar 17th 2010 11:00AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/15/the-best-earbuds-that-wont-break-the-bank/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/15/the-best-earbuds-that-wont-break-the-bank/Mar 16th 2010 9:31AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/15/the-best-earbuds-that-wont-break-the-bank/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/15/the-best-earbuds-that-wont-break-the-bank/Mar 16th 2010 10:45AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/15/the-best-earbuds-that-wont-break-the-bank/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/15/the-best-earbuds-that-wont-break-the-bank/http://www.amazon.com/Shure-SE210-Sound-Isolating-Earphones/dp/B000NDLJNG]]>Mar 16th 2010 11:17AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/15/the-best-earbuds-that-wont-break-the-bank/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/15/the-best-earbuds-that-wont-break-the-bank/Mar 16th 2010 11:24AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/15/the-best-earbuds-that-wont-break-the-bank/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/15/the-best-earbuds-that-wont-break-the-bank/Mar 16th 2010 12:15PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/15/the-best-earbuds-that-wont-break-the-bank/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/15/the-best-earbuds-that-wont-break-the-bank/Mar 16th 2010 11:06PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/15/the-best-earbuds-that-wont-break-the-bank/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/15/the-best-earbuds-that-wont-break-the-bank/My 14 year old son is constantly breaking his earbuds. Idk how!!! Idk if it's the quality or if he's just carelless! It's probably a little of both but unfortunately i just can't afford $90 earbuds or $50 ones for that matter.
Does anyone know of some decent quality earbuds or canalphones in the $20-$25 price range?
I made the mistake of buying (6pairs) of really cheap ones online and most of them broke before my son could even get a days worth of use out of them.
He's doing better. His latest pair lasted a few months but without any extras, he's snagged and is using mine.
Any suggestions on earbuds in the $20-$25 price range would be appreciated . ]]>Mar 16th 2010 4:21PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/15/the-best-earbuds-that-wont-break-the-bank/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/15/the-best-earbuds-that-wont-break-the-bank/
JVC Marshmallows, similar prices as Ink'd but sound better.

Amazon was also selling J'Buds for under $20]]>Mar 18th 2010 5:10PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/15/the-best-earbuds-that-wont-break-the-bank/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/15/the-best-earbuds-that-wont-break-the-bank/
It would be more informative if you stated HOW he is breaking them...]]>Mar 28th 2010 11:07PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/15/the-best-earbuds-that-wont-break-the-bank/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/15/the-best-earbuds-that-wont-break-the-bank/Mar 31st 2010 4:18AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/15/the-best-earbuds-that-wont-break-the-bank/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/15/the-best-earbuds-that-wont-break-the-bank/Mar 17th 2010 1:25AM
