Good sounding wired earbuds - affordable?

I picked up a pair of NuForce EDC from Drop (drop.com) after seeing a favorable review in The Absolute Sound.  I think they are currently going for $60.  They also have a premium model (EDC3) for $100.

I'm not a huge fan of IEMs (don't like how they feel in my ear) but these sound pretty good.  As long as you get a good fit with the ear tip, they have good bass and overall good sound. I am using aftermarket Compy foam tips and not the OEM ones.  I still prefer a full headphone, but I use these when traveling and have been happy with them.

Haven't heard them but the Beyer Soul Byrds seem to be getting good feedback for reasonably priced earbuds.

I recently bought a pair of Shure SE425 which are more in ear than earbuds they are very good but bass is only good if you get a really good seal so you might want to look elsewhere.

What HiFi? reviews suck and are near useless IMHO. The 1More Triple Driver IEMs can be had for $80 on Amazon and get very good (and more reputable) reviews, and I’d expect them to be a big step up from the Apple or Klipsch buds. You’ll probably need to play them for 10 hours or more before they sound their best (although they’ll probably start to sound noticeably better after only a couple hours) so don’t rush to judgement. I’d also replace the tips with some nice Comply tips too — nice upgrade for not much $. Best of luck.

All time best earbuds are MEE Audio M6. M6 wired earbuds offer a professional in-ear and extended bass as well. And specialy in your budget

Hifiman 800's Silver  List at $600 on sale now for $150. Real good sound.
