"Best" earbuds at Bestbuy for around $80 - giftcard

[blazeplacid 10+ year member]

I have about $80 left on a gift card and want a good set of ear buds.

None of my friends have a decent set for me to listen to //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif they all have lower end skullcandies or sonys. Which are ok but not something I really like.

I listen to alot of electronica and love deep bass and alot of mid.

I tried the Dre headphones and they just seem to be nothing but bass.

I found some Denon headphones for $50.

Im willing to spend close to $100, less is always better //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

here are a few I think may be what I like

Higher end skull candy's. Bose is alright. Look to get some studio quality headphones. i say headphones, not buds. but SC and Bose make bud versions as well.

 

[blazeplacid 10+ year member]

earbuds because you can overhear regular headphones in my office.

I like the bose to, which is kinda sad.

I have heard a set of $400 shures that kill most over ear headphones.

I have some higher end noise canceling sonys but I dont like having huge ass headphones on at work

Thankfully your opinion isn't valued much here.

 

[SplAffair 10+ year member]

the beats by dre are over rated/over priced just like the rest of monsters ****

They really just do not sound good...no better than the average $100-150 set, and worse than quite a few I can think of in that range.

My friend bought a set of the Shure headphones which were around $100 and they were fairly awful. I have a pair of the Bose earbuds and they are nice, but pretty bass heavy. Not sure whether they are worth the money however.

 

[Nismofreak 10+ year member]

I would go for audio technica, shure, or akg.

these audio technica are not bad for ear buds but i would get over ear headphones any day over ear buds

Klipsch S4 easily, assuming your store carries them. Pretty decent sound, far better than the shitty Bose earbuds. Shure SE-115 is also a decent set, but they made me feel like I had cotton balls in my ears. The S4 set is pretty comfy IMO. The most common complaint I've read about the S4s is sizzly highs, but my Sansa Clip+ has a nice 5-band EQ to help tame some of the problem frequencies. They have a pretty full sound, with enough bass for most peeps. I don't think I found the midrange to be offensive, so that's good for my music (rock, metal, etc.) I slightly prefer my Denon AH-C551K set, but that's only because I find the amount of bass more satisfying. Not quite as comfy as the S4 set was, though.

The S4 set has a 2-year warranty and if you don't like them you have 30 days to return them to BB.

Creative makes a ear bud set that has some **** good sound. They go for about $40 new. Id put them right on par with the DD ear buds. Sad thing is I dont think Best Buy carries them. Out of the ones you have the Klipsch all the way.
