Hi All,

Whenever I buy earbuds for my iPhone 5, they go out within a year. I commute with them to work.

My last pair were Alpatronix which were great and also cheap. But they lasted just under a year. One of the earbuds went out. I think this could have been due to earwax buildup.

Anyway, I'm wondering if you guys could suggest some good, durable earbuds with mic that you are using already.
I'd like to spend less than $100.

Thanks

I bought a pair of Sennheiser CX685 sports a few months back and use them when working out or doing yard work and other physical things and it stays put and is awesome..

Go over and have a look at The House of Marley. I have the ZION™ Headphones and as you can see there are 5Star ratings everywhere. I wouldn't buy anything else, as the Bas is awesome, and the lows are good too.
If you go the the .com site, then they are even cheaper by $50 but I highly recommend them.

Very good noise isolation, so excellent for on trains or the tube.
