Sorry to poach off the current headphone thread:
http://www.qbn.com/topics/648583…... but I've been meaning to ask for earbud recommendations. Did a search and surprisingly little results.
Something to replace basic iPod set. Mid-range/price... maybe $50-75, I only use them at the gym and don't need to spend tons.

... or if you really think i need to spend more than $75, i'll at least listen.

If you're just after bassy gym buds, I'd consider off the shelf cheapo Sony.
I ended up buying Sennheisser IE6 after I last asked about this..

hmm thx for link.
but there's gotta be more suggestions than skullcandy or sony. i don't want "bassy".

Skullcandy's are cheap and do the job. Just turn down the bass on your settings. Got a pair of "dub" version ear buds from target for 5bucks.

I had a pair of those weird hook-over-the-ear Bang & Olufsen Beosound 2 buds.....awesome!
Until I lent them to a dodgy bird and never got them back!

if you wait for a bit Jaybird is coming out with bluetooth buds: http://www.jaybirdgear.com they also have a nice selection of wired buds too. All made for sport.

I went through two pair of Skull Candys in a few months, switched to Sennheiser and haven't have a problem.

I've tried many ear buds in the past for working out from bang olufsen A8
These sounded great until the sweat ruined the sound

I broke about three pairs of these
to the basic apple ear buds
They worked fine until the rubber around the edges wore of leaving sharp plastic edges poking me eardrum.
But these are by far the best I've ever owned.
