RE: Looking for new earbuds - Satan - 03-01-2017
I ran Marleys for a good year or so almost always at max volume and never had driver problems, are you sure that was the cause?

I love Sennheiser (tried some of their studio equipment a while ago), but I was a little dubious about their earbuds since I haven't heard much. Thanks!

Skullcandy is alright at that pricerange, when you don't get a lemon. I remember I bought a pair of their over-ear headphones at an airport and they died on the flight. Other experiences with them were good and they were quick to replace the faulty headphones.

Whelp I too was like you and used to buy corded earbuds (mostly skullcandy, sent them back if one went out and got another pair from skullcandy 4 free) but almost a year ago I bought a pair of lg tonepro bluetooth headphones and I fucking love them. I haven't lost them and neither of the buds have gone out. Through and through worth the extra cash.

I can't think of any other reasonable explanation. It might have been because I fuck with my EQ a lot and almost always have some kind of bass enhancement.

I currently have a Skullcandy PLYR 1 headset for when I'm at home, and I'd rather have another pair of Kraken Pros or Raptor HS40s. I don't like having to plug in and charge my headphones/earbuds and I have a tendency to lose shit easily, so the cord helps with that.

Right! I bet everytime that cord gets a good tug because your phone slipped your ears just bleed with joy

Yeah I have a small home music studio I have open back sennheisers for which are awesome. The momentum are really good for under $100. I have a few other pairs like the vmodas and a pair of Bowers and Wilkins P5's. Compared to the $150 in ear bose I have, they are really not much better than the momentums. The only benefit is the earpiece has a perfect shape that wraps around the inside of your ear and they are sweat and water resistant. Sound quality aint much better though for the price.

What's a decent quality pair I can get for ~$20 US? I don't mind replacing them every so often if they deliver good sound quality and they're fairly priced.
Lastly, barring recommendations, would stocking up on mid-range Skullcandy buds be a good idea? They deliver alright quality (would prefer better) and can handle pretty high volumes, but they're more or less guaranteed to break within a few months.
There were these cheap sennheiser knock offs on wish, can’t give an exact link but a youtuber did a video of a fake vs real one, at the time the sound was faaar better than any other earbud i had before it.
