Best in-ear headphones?

I'm looking for in-ear headphones to make music with on the go without carrying bigger over the ear headphones. Are the any relatively inexpensive headphones that go in the ear that have very good audio quality? Any suggestions?

    Soundmagic are pretty good.

    Not sure what relatively inexpensive is for you but -
    I picked a pair of these for a song on Woot a while back, and considering getting a spare set cause I just love the sound - which feels really accurate to me. I've got a few of the mid cost sort, including the shures, and for me these sound the most the most full and balanced.

    I like Klipsch in-ears too. I have some s4i and some sports version too. They sound really good to me.

    For years I bought expensive in here earphones. Then, I saw this article:

    http://www.wired.com/2015/11/the-best-cheap-earbuds/

    I also purchased the foam noise isolating inserts to go over the regular earbuds. They're great for on the go, on the bus, they even work for me on an airplane.

    I've given up trying to get audiophile quality in on the go earphones, and instead I prefer price, value and decent sound.

    I tried a pair of those. Nice sounding in the mid to top range but absolutely no bass to them and they died after a month or so.

    Hafta say I have a pair of these and think they're good, bass-included.

    It depends what you're looking for. You can't have it all. I find the bass on these sufficient for being so cheap.

    These are actually an upgrade from the cheapo Philips I've been using for on the go for years. I'd buy them four at a time.

    I bought the e10. They sound kind of hollow to me, presumably lacking lower mid frequencies. Then I put a custom mould around them and they lost all the bass. They're better than the average stock you get with phones, MP3 players though.

    Interesting, was probably down to the shape of my ears or summat. They were marginally better if I screwed them way into my ears but they packed up anyway. I remember i created a tune with them and when i eventually listened back on apple earbuds I had hoisted the bass up impossibly loud to compensate so I didn't feel i could trust them.

    Noise cancelling headphones are good, sonically, but when personal security may be a requirement (eg when walking in traffic or in crowds of people) you may need to hear your surroundings, so choose wisely...

    Another vote for the Shure 215s. I've had them for a while now and have them with me all the time.

  • TarekithTarekith

    Big fan of the Shure's myself, used all of them from the 200 series up to the 425's I have now. Fit is crucial in any in-ear headphone to get good bass response.

    Oh sure. I didn't think that they were that bad though, esp for the price. http://www.whathifi.com/soundmagic/e10s/review

    And they're what I'd call budget. I do like how this conversation has gone from, 'what are some good cheap in ears?' to 'BUY SOME SHURES' within a few replies though :smile:

    On a related note though, my soundmagic bit the dust after 3 years of hard work, and I went for these ones this time - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-MDR-EX650-Earphones-Housing-Smartphone/dp/B00I3LV11K/r which aren't too shabby.

    I just got the sennheiser CX 475 cheepos and custom moulded them with Stanley earplug paste which can be found at screwfix in the UK for £10 and I'm getting a better (more uniform) sound from them compared to soundmagic e10. The CX are half price at £20 at the moment.

    I agree, the 215s are ace for the price . Much prefer them to all the Etymotics I've had and the Soundmagics (E10 and E30) for that matter.

    Just got a pair of MEE A151s that I'm happy with - about $35. Might not have enough bass for some, but there's a lot of detail in the mids and highs, and the bass is suitable for my tastes. Bought off a recommendation from the folks at goodcans.com

    Thanks for all the suggestions and advice everybody. Didn't realize fit was so important. Really helpful as i think the music making had been held back by bad headphones and wrong fit, excited to start using these better headphones. Will be trying the MEE A151s and mrice300e now and keeping the others in mind for later
