NO NO NO. Try SoundMAGIC earphones. They're ridiculously inexpensive for what they are. If you want to spend a little more, then look at Etymotic or Shure. But if you're spending over $100ish, LISTEN TO THEM before you buy them. I have a pair of Shure e2c earphones that I NEVER use since buying *several pairs* of SoundMAGICs (PL10s are my fav). The PL10s are fantastic earphones for the price. Stay the fuck away from Beats and Bose.
