Good headphones?

[Ninja_sheep]

Hey
I need some help on buying new headphones.

Up until now I just got the cheap headphones and they always break after about 4 months. I'm getting tired of that and I want to get some good headphones that last me for a wile.

About the headphones...
-They need some mechanism to hold on my ears. I use them for sports and my cripple ears stop holding normal earphones if I start jogging.
-They should be small. No sound block, nothing that goes above/around the head (not like those.
-They should last some time.

For the price... I want to get something good now, so it can be expensive. 50$ limit.

Anybody knows some good headphones for me ?


Thanks in advanced

You've pretty much described buds, which don't go over $50 and aren't considered good headphones. Either ipod or skull candy headphones will be your best bet.

I think he wants earphones with hooks like these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000UPDWIC
I have no experience with these, just an example. I'm sure you can find a good high-quality pair with $50. Look around and read reviews. Much faster and possibly more accurate than asking here.

I would recommend these, I use them when jogging and they stay on for me (they are "behind the ear" headphones), although they were selling for cheaper a while ago ~30 USD

About 20$. Excellent quality.

Sennheiser. Great quality, great durability, a bit on the expensive side

JVC all the way for me. Sennheiser is becoming too expensive comparing to the JVC (I had a CX300, now JVC FXC50)
