Recommendations for cheap earphones?

[t3h l337 n3wb]

I just need a pair of general use earbuds that satisfy my needs:

- Cost <= $20 shipped. Might be willing to spend $25.
- Don't fall out easily when running or something.
- Have those soft felt cover thingies.
- Decent bass.
- Pretty loud (not as loud as iPod headphones though).
- Will be used for music listening and maybe LAN partying.

Not sure if anything like this exists, but if anyone can give suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

Just go to wal-mart and pick up a pair of sony earbuds.

Koss KSC75- These are clipons but you wont find any earbuds better in my opinion.

-- take a look at http://www.headphonereviews.org/ if you wanna look at more options

Hmm, not bad. However, I don't really like over-the-ear headphones. It just feels weird to me for some reason. But I'll definitely look into them if I can't find good earbuds.

Sony MDR-EX51LP

or, if you can swing it,

Sony MDR-EX71SL

Best earbuds on the market (IMO): Sennheiser MX400 ... they also have the MX500 which is the same thing but comes in white.

can't remember the name for the more normal type earbuds from sony that have that extra bump that goes deeper into ur ear canal. those work ok too...and are probably cheap now.

I really like my Koss earbuds. They were $20, but on sale at best buy for $5

T.T these are like $35 shipped...

I think I'll go with the white MDR-EX51LP's. I'm $3 away from free shipping on Amazon though

That would be Sony's N.U.D.E earbuds. Might be better for some because I know that some people don't like inner-canal buds.

Alright, I just ordered the white MDR-EX71SL's with free super saver shipping @ Amazon. They won't get here until about January 5th
