Can anyone recommend a pair of earbuds that are <$50, and will last at least 6 months? Sick of buying new headphones every month...

Spend more and get a pair of Etymotic that you'll never have to replace...

@drewshannon

even when I've spent money on nice ones (Etymotic, Shure, Bose, etc.), I end up needing to replace them at about the 1-year mark

@zeenakoda Jersey City, NJ / NYC

seriously brookstone had AWESOME buds check them out by my desk when you can + protection plan it's like 30 & they replace easy

@eBrekh Boston

Sennheiser CX-300 or 500. Should be able to find them on Amazon for under $30. Real nice bass, noise cancelling. Always my goto

@drewshannon

hmm, but I'm looking online, and Etymotic has 2-year replacement warranty. Are they good about replacement due to wear/tear?

12:35PM Fri, January 27 2012

@drewshannon

thanks!

12:36PM Fri, January 27 2012

@popstache Chicago

Absolutely. I've had a pair of ER-4s for 4 years.

@drewshannon

thanks! I've had good experiences with Sennheisers, may need to go back to them...

@halfofjess

Buy a group from Ebay. Apple ones suck but I use them.

12:37PM Fri, January 27 2012

@vinusebastian1

invest in a pair of Bose on ear or over the ear headphones... i still use the same pair that I bought bak in 2007..

@lucasstein

What kind of sound quality you looking for? My plain ol' Sony ear buds have lasted about two years

12:37PM Fri, January 27 2012

@drewshannon

I love over-the-ear ones for plane rights or sitting at my desk, but not ideal for commuting every day / working out.

@drewshannon

eh, sound quality isn't as important as durability, to be honest. I've had moderate success with Sonys

12:38PM Fri, January 27 2012

@drewshannon

those look nice, thanks!

12:38PM Fri, January 27 2012

@drewshannon

Apple ones don't fit well for me, unfortunately. I'll check Ebay though, thanks!

12:39PM Fri, January 27 2012

@drewshannon

ok, you've convinced me. Not sure if I can swing the ER's right now, but I'm going to check out the MC5's. Thanks!

1:46PM Fri, January 27 2012
