I want some earbuds at work and looking for suggestions.
A few qualifications:
1. They shouldn't be expensive. $50-70 is about it. Ideal would be $50.
2. They should be relatively stealthy. No gigantic stuff.
Currently I've got a pair from walmart for $15 which were surprisingly good for $15 but unfortunately they are just too bass heavy requiring me too turn it up too much to get to the mids and treble detail. So a more neutral set would be nice.

I just got the Brainwavz delta and they sound pretty good.my main earbuds are the Westone 4 check the reviews on the Brainwavz I would have to say that the included plugs did not work for me so I'm looking to replace them but that's different for everyone I'm used to the wrap over the ear cable style

Hi guys, these need to be in ear earbuds rather than wrap over the ear style as I need it to be somewhat incognito in appearance.
It looks like my current earbuds are starting the process of falling apart, so I'm fixing to order one really soon. If anybody has any more selections let me know. Thanks.

"I need the earbuds to fit well so I will pass on that one. But thank you for the suggestion."
Probably not an option now but the best thing I can recommend are in ear monitors custom fitted for your ears. Done right they're practically invisible and they sound incredible and will last for years and years to come.

Music at work, hmm. Your name doesn't happen to be Milton Waddams, does it?  "I was told that I could listen to the radio at a reasonable volume from nine to eleven, I told Bill that if Sandra is going to listen to her headphones while she's filing then I should be able to listen to the radio while I'm collating so I don't see why I should have to turn down the radio because I enjoy listening at a reasonable volume from nine to eleven."

Just got a pair of Sennheiser CX5.00G from my wife for my birthday. They sound really good not to bass heavy and with different sizes of ear buds.

I got the Audio-Technica ATHCLR100BK
First impressions. They fit pretty nicely. Not enough bass when driven by the UCA202. It appears to have a clearer mid-range and treble than what I had but the bass maybe a deal breaker. This may change as things get better

The previous set was too bass shy for me. Does the v-moda reach reasonably deep? |

If your wiling to compromise, and want dirty chocolate with extra sugar bass. The monster iSport victory are really good. I use them at the gym for that extra motivation. They really pump the bass though.
