I need a new pair of earphones because mine broke and the new ones my mom got for me suck, because I can't hear the bass at all.

I'm looking for ones that are compact enough to fit in my left pocket with my cell phone, full set of black d20 System dice, keys, flash drive, fun rubber hi-bounce ball, and MP3 player.

However, I don't know shit about earphones! So someone should tell me if these are any good. I've got a total of $110 in Best Buy gift cards, so any alternatives should come from there. <p>-_-___-___-___-_-

I would say those sound good, but you should consider looking closer at them to see if they have a good ergonomia. By that I mean, is it a pain in the ass to keep them in your ears?

I personally use a muff-style (as opposed to the above's bud style) set whose two pieces are completely separated except by wire, and whose muffs hang on the ear by small hooks. The bass is sufficient for me, but then again I rarely listen to music on my terminal so take that with a grain of salt.

Also, Our Josh knows of a certain type of headphone which is pretty collapsible while being sturdy, and which apparently rocks the hizzle. I, however, have long since lost the information on this. You will probably want to bug him. <p><span style="font-size:xx-small;">"It's in the air, in the headlines in the newspapers, in the blurry images on television.

I will! However, I saw nothing like that on the Best Buy website, and half of the point of this is to use up the gift card my aunt gave me. <p>-_-___-___-___-_-

Check and see if KOSS makes any; I've always depended on their products when it comes to filling my day with song :D

But then again, I use the bulky earmuff style radical headphones. Not sure about their tinier ones.

KOSS does, indeed, make headphones.
They're so comfey. <p><div style="text-align:center">

I have these, which Priam was talking about before. I loves them, I do! Unfortunately, they don't make them anymore. These, however, are almost identical. One of my friends has them, and apart from the color, I honestly can't tell you what the difference is. <p>

There you go. Take down the model number and name, and see if Best Buy gots that.

Because I am too lazy to do it for you. <p><span style="font-size:xx-small;">"It's in the air, in the headlines in the newspapers, in the blurry images on television.

I didn't know Mike made earphones. :{

On a more serious note, I have earbuds, and they work quite well. The only thing they lack is a longer cord, because the people who set up the computer labs placed the computers on the floor and thus I have to bend over to listen to music on the earbuds. <p>-----

As a general rule, regardless of the quality of the things, earbuds sound like ass. If you're looking for an item that doesn't sound like ass, you'll need something bulkier. <p>

FD knows where it's at.

Refer to the first post. I need pocket-sized earphones. I think only earbuds really qualify. Basically, what I'm looking for is the best earbuds I can find/afford. <p>-_-___-___-___-_-

You're probably gonna want ones with earholds.

That is the entirety of my knowledge on the matter. It seems to me that earbuds would not have much variety in their construction. <p><span style="font-size:xx-small;">"It's in the air, in the headlines in the newspapers, in the blurry images on television.

Earholds? <p>-_-___-___-___-_-

If he means what I mean, little headphones + clips on the wire, that slip over your ears, securing them in place. They take some getting used to, but they sound much better than earbuds.

Zero is correct, as I have two turntables and a microphone.

Also, I suppose that what you'd be looking for are these, which I also have, I just couldn't find the link to before. The sound quality isn't quite as awesometacular, but they're not earbuds, which makes them innately better. <p>

If you want it to be durable, high-quality in terms of sound, and very portable, go for a newer model of disconnected muffs with ear-clips. <p>[---------------------------]

I have a set of earbuds I bought for 1.50$ canadian and they're the best goddamn headphones I've ever had.

Better than, like, the 100$ white noise-producing muff ones I've had.

True. Also, try the radio that comes with earbuds.

The only reason I would get more expensive ones is for the stylish collector case. <p>-----
