Earphones?
Sorry if this isn't the right forum, if so please move it to the appropriate one.
Only a few months ago, I bought some earphones from Walmart (supposedly high-quality, seemed reasonably priced). Now, I'd bought these same earphones before and they lasted me about 7 months, thought maybe I could've taken care of them better, so I bought another pair and to put it mildly I was very disappointed after they paractically stopped working four months later. Yes, the sound quality is superb, but if I'm going to have to pay $30 every few months on earphones I'd rather get a high-quality pair.
So what would you recommend? I'm looking for something that produces high quality sound, lasts fairly long, and isn't overly expensive. Thanks in advance

Re: Earphones?
I use a pair of Sony MDR-7506es. They're not exactly cheap ($100 last I looked), but they sound great, and stand up to outright abuse. This pair was shoved loose into a backpack every day for four years, has been dropped more times than I can count, been stepped on, and been rolled over in a desk chair, and still sound exactly like the day I got them six years ago. They're absolute tanks.

Re: Earphones?
You try finding good headphones in northwestern Arkansas without paying out the nose in shipping, and then you can complain about Skullcandy.AaronAMV wrote:ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww skullcandy ewwwwwwwww

are you using SONY ear buds?
if not, i recommend you get those. those have great quality and i believe they range from 20-30 bucks. (I wouldn't be suprised if that's what you were talking about)
either that, or get JVCs.
they have decent quality, and they're about 10 bucks.
BTW
lol walmart.
