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...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

those look nice, thanks!

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

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!
