Smokin' buds, that what I got and there only 40 bucks! That gives you another 40 to buy some cds for your bass buzzzzzz

Hmm, So you guys are saying that the cheaper Buds have the better bass quality?

the Heavy Medals are the best earbuds you could buy that actually sound bassy. they're $80 exactly. They are 10x better than smoking buds. They look a little goofy but they are awesome

i don't get why people buy skullcandy, the build and sound quality are terrible with all their products. I just got a pair of bose IE2 earbuds, they kick ass. Way better sound range and quality then SC, super comfortable, stay in your ear perfectly, and they come with a nice leather case.

because theyre cheap as fuck if not free, and when they break you can return them and get a new pair instantly. theyre also really light. i'm not looking for studio quality sound when i'm skiing, just something that bumps loud in my ears.

See im the exact opposite, I want something that gives me a full range of sound with solid bass, even mids, and high trebles. SC just doesnt offer anything like that really, and I end up missing out on things in my music. keep in mind i don't listen to rap and shit, mostly trance, house, and minimal

If you ski with a helmet def try to pick up a pair of Asym's, they lie flat with your ear so theres no pressure holding them in, the cord also wraps around your ear and holds them in place

IMO 50/50's are the best if youre really looking for bass. But i guess it really depends on if you wear a helmet or not. If you dont then i would highly recommend some icon2's super steezy, customizable if you have multiple caps, and the sound quality is good enough for me.

Sony I find is better. I got a fairly good pair for under 25 bucks at Target, I use the smallest rubber part, and it works great.

for 80 bucks, look no further than the Sony MDR-XB20EX earbuds.

I bought mine for 35 last year so keep looking.

All of the in ear ones have pretty good bass, the icons not so much. I would also recommend the 50/50's which probly have good bass aswell, they are a bit more expensive tho.

I have icons for riding and they suffice for that, but off the hill I use Klipsch S4s. Best earbud I've ever listened to, and they match the sound of my brother's $300 shure buds for a fraction of the price. Ohh and beats suck to whoever in this thread said they use them.

Heard nothing but good things from these.

Has anyone tried out Sol Republics? They're supposed to be known for their durability, which is a huge factor in picking a good earbud to ride with.... and the fact that they're supposed to stay really securely.

I got creative ear buds and they are good. They stay in your ear well, have great sound and are affordable. They cost 20€ so that'd be like 26$.

Your a fucktard. Go to bed, you need sleep. I have been through 4 in the past 2 months. I bought 1 pair and kept on taking them back to the shop for a new pair. Great quality for 40 bucks but they break easy because they aren't sealed properly. If I get sick of the ones I have got., I will tug a little on the wires then get a new pair. It's like a lifetime supply

I agree.. It sucks not hearing the snow with ear buds in.. And if I just rock one to talk with my buddies then I have a weird echo that goes through my head.. So I'm just going to buy some icon 2's.. There cheap and look pretty sick, but most important they ignore the annoying ass head echo I get from buds..

Get skullcandy FMJ's. I had smokin' buds and they lasted about a month until both earbuds completely popped off the wire.
