Recommend me some budget earbuds.

[jmanpc 5,000+ posts]

I work in a mailroom, and I probably listen to music 4-6 hours a day. I have some shitty panasonic ones that clip onto my ears, but they sound pretty icky.

I'm looking for something with decent bass response (seems to be the pitfall of most headphones) and no external amplification. I want to stick to earbuds because I need something I can fit in my pocket with my Zune while I make deliveries. I want to spend $50-$75 (maybe a tad more)

I got some Senn CX500s they sound great and are comfortable as hell... I wore 'em for hours on end with no ear fatigue.

senn and shure are the best bang for the buck I have personally tried. I like d the shure e2g the most but they where about 145-150 the shure's I have now that where 60 are good I would rather get the e2g type again but 60 bucks and the music sounds like how it should sound. as for bass response once you get the right fit they are fully there.

skullcandy marshmellows all that junk is a waste of money they do not sound good and are poorly made. the shures are well made and as long as you put the wire under your shirt will last a long time.

These have pretty good bass response for such a cheap earbud. But there is nothing special about them, really. As for the DD's, I've heard that they are actually rather average for their price range.

If you want really strong bass, these have plenty. They're $135. But if you want bass, it's worth it. http://cgi.ebay.com/BrandNew-Ultimate-Ear-Super-Fi-5-EB-Earphone-Black_W0QQitemZ270393979218QQcmdZViewItemQQptZOther_MP3_Player_Accessories?hash=item3ef4bcb152&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50

Definitely stick to earbuds or in-ear canals if you don't have any external amplification. Go have a look-see at http://www.head-fi.org. It's a pretty big headphone forum. Lots of good threads there.

Look for sum Radius Atomik Basses. I got mine for about 30 bux shipped to me and they sound pretty damm good for being this cheap.
