    Re: Looking for Earbud headphones

    Dunno if this topic is outdated but roflmao, what the heck.

    I've worked for Skullcandy before (or at least the distributor in Singapore) and the brand isn't too bad.

    If you have the budget, go for Klipsch S3. Lowest end earphone but gives you an awesome taste of their brand. Excellent audio.

    Another thing you should note, if you can, is doing an equalization on your earphones. For example, most earphones don't play all frequencies, from high to low, at the same volume. By doing an equalization, you can get great sounding audio from even the cheapest earphones (except shitty iPhone earphones).

    Another model recommended is Audio Technica CKM55. One of the recommended models of ATH.

      According to Amazon, the last earphones I bought were the Philips SHE6000/10 in-ear headphones in March 2011 for £12. They're still working perfectly and I think the sound quality is great, so I'd have to recommend them.

      Though at home I use AKG K550 and the sound on those is immense, but they're useless outside of the house because they're closed-back.

        After buying several ear buds to try and find the right one I found the sennheiser mx365. I couldn't deal with IEM things inside my ear.

            Since 2005, MEE audio headphones and audio accessories have won acclaim from casual listeners and audiophiles alike, delivering Music Enjoyment for Everyone. The MEE Professional brand focuses on manufacturing in-ear monitors with custom elements, delivering great audio performance and hearing protection for musicians.


            These are an awesome value for 10$ plus like 2 or 3$ for shipping. It's on sale right now for 10 but the original price is 15. I really like the sound. Definitely the best value for headphones in my opinion.

              They could be, for $15 I don't really care either. I just wanted them to be comfortable enough to put into my ears and make sound. I wear over ear headphones for sound quality.

              There aren't a whole lot of options for Non-IEMs.

                Panasonic RPHJE120K

                $8

                sounds like $35

                  Pioneer SE-CL501T





                  SGD$20 here. Excellent bass for its price. However, I find that mids feel rather muddy and the treble is a bit too high. Can be fixed though. The sound isolation from the rubber tips is excellent. It is manufactured as a straight jack but comes with an additional L jack, should you need it, as well as additional rubber tips.

                  It also has a single button to pause/play to control any of the devices you control, be it iPod, iPhone and Android.

                  If you want to adjust and equalize the sound for even better sound quality, here's how I equalized my sound in Poweramp.

                    Those are still all IEMs though. I'm sure they sound good for what they are, but I'll never be able to deal with the tips in my ears.
