In ear headphones $150 or less
I have been reading reviews left and right and they just don’t seem to jive with the real world amazon reviews.
Is a nice pair of in ear headphones just a unicorn? Should I buy cheap and get over the ear headphones for the same money? If so I still need nice in ear for sports activities and would like a recommendation.

I’ve a set of rbh in ear headphones and they sound incredible.. They were $100 as an introductory price. They’re $150 now. I’ve not compared them to the thousands of Chinese earbuds though.. That said, for times when I need earbuds that might get destroyed (mowing the lawn mostly..) I use cheap Sony earbuds that were $30 at Walmart and they actually sound pretty good. |
