Good in-ear headphones for >$25

As you can tell im not trying to break the bank,but just want the bang for my buck want to get something to go along with the beats audio. Any recommendations?

Well the thread title says you want headphones that cost more than 25 bucks. I'm assuming you meant less than 25. There are very few earbuds that are good for such a low cost. Me, I used the one provided with the phone.
Good ear buds go for more around the 100 price range though. I recommend these http://www.klipsch.com/image-S4A-headphones
I don't own a pair but I tried my friends, man, they are pretty good.

I use smokin buds by skull candy literal every day in the gym, and my main music ranges from meek mills to ffdp and everything in between, they hold up to it all and never have blown on max volume all day. Plus there are tons of colors to choose from. $25 everywhere you go. And even cheaper most places

Although they don't go in the ear canal, the Gumy earbuds by JVC are, by far, the best sounding earbuds I've ever heard for under $25. They are almost as good as my Klipsch s4 earbuds and tend to be more comfortable since they are disc shaped and sit on the outer edge of the ear. They look similar to the Apple earbuds, but produce a much richer sound than the Apple buds.
I would rate the Klipsch s4 buds as the overall best sounding ones I own, followed closely by the JVC Gumy buds. They sound great with the Beats equalizer on my HTC Rezound. Both are better than Skullcandy FMJ earbuds and Skullcandy inkd earbuds, IMHO. Keep in mind that I listen to extreme metal and don't like too much bass in my earbuds.
Gumy earbuds are $9 at Walmart or Target. The Klipsch s4 are $80 at Worst Buy.

I'm using Meelectronics M9P, pretty good for something under $25 as well.
IMO the M9P's bass does slightly overpower the mids, and I personally find that vocals are slightly recessed as well. But it's good enough for my commuting needs

I'm using creative ep 630.
They are great, just remember to glue those ear buds to the thing itself our you're going to lose them for sure

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004S7Q8CA/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details I got those, and they are amazing for the price at around 15 pounds.

Look up soundmagic E10, on par with the s4's. Build quality not the best, but sound is brilliant for the price.

If you find it "TL;DR", skim through the your desired price range, and note down those with the highest(>8.0) Sound and Value ratings, then with your options narrowed down, read his comments on their sounds, and details like what's included in the box, build quality etc.
If you're really not in a rush, go one price-range tier higher, as you can often find them under discount such that they actually fit within your budget.

anyone know how urBeats bundled with the one x compare to senheiser cx300's? I just wanna decide if I should sell the urBeats and BNIB is obviously better for earphones!

I use these Sennheiser CX300-II earphones and they sound amazing

i bought a pair of monster jamz for $40bux when it was on sale. i've yet to use them though but for the price i guess can't go wrong.. i bought the premium version of the HTC one x that includes the Dr Dre beat solo hd.. but it feels weird to use that as a handsfree lol..

UE 100, i've been using them for 1/2 a year..
pretty decent for the price ...

Thanks guys for the recommendations.

Anyone interested in Beats come here....

Well as everyone knows Beats are ridiculously overpriced, the sound they provide is nowhere near the price they charge, yes they do look nice but just way too expensive. So I shopped around and found what are essentially beats without the same price tag (RRP they are but sell for much cheaper on ebay), the headphones I refer to are the Monster Purity HD's. As everyone knows Monster makes Beats, the Purity HD's are essentially Solo HD's with a rectangular ear cup, slightly less bass and clearer sound. Same headband and everything, really nice looking cans, got them today after winning them on ebay for £38 brand new and sealed.
I think the reason for how cheap they sell is they have been made in conjunction with Nokia for WP7 phones so uninformed people dont realise they are made by the same company as beats and think they are Nokia headphones, good news is also the cable with the ControlTalk controls works right out of the box with the S3, that means answer/end calls, play/pause music, turn volume up/down using the controller without ever touching your phone. Awesome. Anyway thought it might be of use to people who like the look of beats but not the pricetag they come with. Enjoy.

Thanks for the heads up. I've started shopping around as well and couldn't justify dropping the $$$ on Bose or those Beats headphones. I'll take a look at these.

Or you could just buy a pair of Audiotechnica's and get the best sound quality for the price...

Apple Ear pods. Thoughts?

I know, I know its apple but I've read some reviews and they seem to be getting decent remarks and for $29 they don't seem to be that bad of a deal. They should be leaps better then the headphones that came with the galaxy nexus. So is anybody planning on trying them out? Anybody already used them?

Go spend $15-20 on a pair of skullcandy buds and you'll get a great pair of headphones without paying an arm and a leg for decent sounding headphones.
My skullcandy buds work perfectly fine for me, they are crisp, clear, and sound great. Plus they come with 3 different sizes to change from if they don't fit snug in your ear.

If you ask any audiophile what headphone is the best, they'll tell you it doesn't matter. If your audio file is a high quality (256kbps+) then it'll sound good no matter what headphones you use. In fact, most audiophiles use cheap $10 generic earbuds as opposed to something more expensive.

TJ Maxx has soem nice $8 ifrogz
or get something better, with audio if you go cheap, really go cheap, there is no point in spending "a little bit more"
Either buy what you really want or head to TJ Maxx.
A lot of people talk about lack of bass because they don't know how to insert in ear phones properly. Even on expensive phones.
Good headphones with clear mids and airy highs will really disappoint you if you don't master this skill as they will sound utterly unbalanced and unfun if you don't get a good deal on your ear canals.
Figured i add something even more useful than the initial advice you might not see as one.

I've done a lot of research and this seems to be the consensus: They're better than the old pack ins, but not near as good as Apple's claims.
This dude hated them:
http://gizmodo.com/5943222/apple-earpods-review-less-terrible-still-garbage
This dude thought they were alright, but preferred a certain $7 set of earbuds:
http://thewirecutter.com/2012/09/testing-the-apple-earpods-vs-our-favorites-headphones/
And I ordered said certain set of earbuds to see what the hype is all about. Apparently if you want to step up from these $7 earbuds, the next best sounding ones are $90 Velodynes. That sounds pretty amazing, but I will know first hand in a few days.
Oh yeah, those $7 ones:

best in ear buds i've ever used were the Monster Turbine's
I know they're from Monster, but damn, the clarity, bass, and mid to high's are great.
i think the apple earpod's are a welcome change from the previous version.

I have a pair of these and they sound fantastic for the price. However for my ears the fit with any of the included tips is terribly uncomfortable and fall out pretty easily, but I've also never found any in-ear earbuds that actually feel comfortable and stay in anyway so take that for what it's worth. Also I can hear the wires bouncing around pretty badly as I walk.

Amazon had a Cyber Monday sale on the Klipsh Image X10. At about $85 I think they where a great deal. Keep an eye out for the UE TripleFi 10 to possible go on sale between now and Christmas, they are sometimes at around $100 (or less) around Christmas.
Meelectronics are a good bang for the buck company across their various offerings. I have their M6 model I use when running.

At that price those might just be perfect for dedicated gym headphones! Thanks for the link!

I may have the unpopular opinion, but I have to give my good graces and kudos to the new Apple earpods. I have had the old earbuds and now the new pods. The difference is extraordinary. I am hearing clear differences between the two. I don't ever use stock music players with my phones, even though I've found the stock music players in both the Note I and II, are really great. I use third party music players because there's usually much more customization. With the player I use and their enhanced bass settings, plus the new Apple earpods, I am hearing extreme bass and really clear sound in all of my music... sounds I don't recall hearing with the old Apple earbuds.
Also, unlike with the Note I and/or the old Apple earbuds, the new earpods actually work with the Note II as a functioning headset! Found it out by sheer accident. They have never worked with any other Android phone, so I never tried. A friend called me while I was listening to music, and I answered the call before I attempted to disconnect the earpods. That's when I heard my friend talking through the headphones. I said, "Hello" and he heard me... loud and clear according to him. I was super excited! So for only $29.99, you may wanna try these. If you can get em from Best Buy, you can try them out and if you don't like them, you can return them within the window of returns for a full refund. You can't beat the price, especially if you end up liking them.

I love these threads
I want the BEST earphones, i don't care what they are, I want the BEST....as long as its under $50
The BEST in my opinion? Westone 4R. Aural bliss

Best headphones money can buy
For around 90 bucks, you can pick up a pair of sure se215's. Just look around you can get them on the cheap, and you will be hard pressed to find a better pair of headphones in this price range. They sound better than the Klipsch s4's but are a little more pricey, and they have a very nice fit.

I love the sound of the Ultimate Ears Triple.Fi buds. I've tried a bunch, and they are the best I've heard. But, if you're going to be rough on them, expect to buy a new cable every 6 months or so.
Lately, for just walking around and listening to podcasts, I've been using the Plantronics BackbeatGO (they were on sale at BestBuy for $80, you can get them at Amazon for $75 now). Only 4.5 hours of battery at a time, but if that's long enough for you, they are incredibly comfortable and not bad sounding.

Earphone Suggestions?

Hello Oners I didn't see a earphone thread so ta da. Discuss what you use and what you advice and maybe links to where you can get them from. I'll start off by saying I'm using the apple earpods. I know I know I know... they work great Mic and play pause but no vol.

If you are looking at $100 headphone consider the Klipsch X10s. They originally retailed for $350 and are some of the most comfortable and best sounding in ear headphones on the market. http://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-Image-X10-Noise-Isolating-Earphone/dp/B000WAHFBK They were doing a sale a while ago for $89.99 but they can still be found on ebay for $100.
If you are not wanting to spend that amount go for the Klipsch Reference S4 not the normal edition make sure it's the reference they are amazing for their cost. http://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-Reference-S4i-In-Ear-Headphones/dp/B005ZNHK4Q/ref=pd_cp_e_2 still $49.99 they will destroy all in ear headphones under $100.

This is what I'm currently using and was told by several people it would support multiple phones. It does, sometimes...weird I know. The concept behind these I think is good. I personally hate bluetooth and hate earphones. These if they would work perfect the entire time I would love. I think I'm going to be taking them back to the Sprint store this week and looking in to some other options as well.
I have no problem paying the high dollar for them but only if they do everything I want.

Depends but for price the phillips she3580 or similar is a cracking match.
They share different model names but they're the same driver.
Just a tiny little bud.

Yeah got mine the other week, great sound from the headphones, nice design to go with the phone and a compatible remote. What more do you want for 30£? :good:

My headphones are Etymotic ER-4P. (This model has been discontinued, but the ER-4PT is very similar).
My requirements for headphones are somewhat unusual. First, I'm partially deaf, which means I need high-end sound quality. There is obviously a point of diminishing returns - when the distortion/noise introduced by the phone itself is significantly greater than that introduced by the headphones; but anything less than high-end sound means I can't understand dialog in a downloaded movie or TV show. (Also, when I do listen to music, it's classical, and that is much more vulnerable to distortion than modern stuff). Second, I do a lot of listening on trains on the London Underground; shutting out as much background noise as possible is therefore a major priority.
I don't usually move around too much while listening - someone who wants to go the gym or go jogging would want a different model. And the ER-4PT is not a headset - there's no microphone, so you can't make calls with it, and there's no track-switching control. (If that's an issue then the next model down does have a headset equivalent called the HF2).
Etymotic aren't as good value now as they were when I bought mine, but sound quality is very good, and exclusion of external noise is truly superb - officially they reduce it by 35-42dB, depending on frequency. (The level of noise isolation is the same on much cheaper Etymotic models, although obviously the sound quality isn't as good).

I've got Bose AE2i and Mie2s
Works really well imo

I am considering those

what do you think?

I have a pair of the LG Tone Plus and they are awesome! 15 hours of battery life and great sound when playing your favorite jams on your HTC One! Highly recommend if you want the bluetooth kind and ability to connect two phones does work.

You should go check the Headfi forum. I'm a regular poster there. One thing to note about the HTC One is that they have excellent driving capabilities thus making the use of an external amp useless unless you're trying to drive something like K701s.
To put things into perspective, they drive my 600ohm DT880s perfectly with a mild spike in volume at about the <500Hz range.
I personally like to use them with my m100s when I'm out and about.
They should drive IEMs no problem. I would even say that they're overkill for a sensitive earphone like the S4. They sound great with se215s.
Tbh the stock IEMs are suprisingly good. Great bass extension but also a considerable amount of mid-bass hump leading to some sound corrruption in the mids. Highs are lacking but for what they are I definitely would not recommend spending 100$ for IEMs like the S4 for what is in my opinion a very mild upgrade.
Just use the stock phones.
