Title: Halp! Need new in-ear headphones
Post by: Beezy on January 09, 2013, 09:51:14 PM
The left side of the headphones that I got with my Galaxy Nexus phone crapped out on me yesterday. The right side died as I left my job today. :'(

I'm sure they're not AMAZING, but they were much better than default ipod headphones. Went to Best Buy and everything they had seemed to either be shit or overpriced. What do you guys recommend? I'd like something with a mic + controls similar to this if possible since my phone is my mp3 player.

So I guess $50 is the sweet spot. The 2 yr warranty on the Klipsch would be great for me since every pair of headphones I've ever barely last a year. Is there a version with a mic?

People who are willing to pay an extra $20. Fuck that.

Thanks PD. The version with a mic is only like $5 more. Leaning towards that. Why haven't I heard of this brand until now?

Any of you experience any type of problems at all with your headphones?

Nope, I only replace them when I destroy them by accident, like every two years.

Yeah, those Sennheisers sound good but I know two people that used them but stopped after they always broke after one year of use.

Yeah, I own like eight pairs, and can never find any of them.
