Can some one tell me what is the best pair of in-ear Ipod headphones for under $75. I know there are some expensive ones that are awesome, but please don't suggest those cause i don't have $200 to shell out for headphones.

Thanks for the help in advance!!!

a new ebay set of the apple ones (that are normally 40 bucks) have always worked for me. Got a new, unopened package of them on ebay for 22 dollars.

I'd shop around and get the Shure e2c, you might be able to find them for around 75$.

eh, the apple in-ears work fine for me. GREAT sound at a lower price compared to other in-ears. Make sure you find the right size cushion though, and REALLY shove them in there or they'll sound weak and won't work.

Yeah, but they sound basically like a slightly bassier in-ear version of the stock earbuds... which isn't really much of an upgrade IMO.

But to each his own :)

If you're willing to shell out another $25, the Etymotic ER-6i's are on sale here.

I have the E2C's, and they sound great. Not very useful when you need to hear your surroundings, though. The noise cancellation works that good. I use the apple ones when I need to be aware.

I've got the sennheiser cx 300's and I really like them, it's like hearing your music anew. The only thing I find is that you have to fit them just right to get the best sound.

From what I have read, the Panasonic RP-HJE70 are excellent.

I have the HJE50 and they are very good, nice clean sound and controlled bass (not boomy/muddy like Sonys). Unfortuately, I've just lost one of the ear tips, so I'm annoyed :(

If you have an iPod with the iPod headphones then buy the griffin in-ear jams, very cheap, they just snap on to your iPod headphones to turn them into in-ear headphones, the sound quality is just fantastic.

yeah from what i've heard the griffin earjaams are really inexpensive and sound good, but still won't sound the same as the shures. shure has a reputation for amazing tone qualities. i mean, their wireless systems for guitars sound GREAT
