I am looking for a back-up pair of earbuds for when I am at the pool. I don't plan on them getting wet, but if they do I won't be out too much.

So I am wondering, what is the best pair under $20. I am not an audiophile, but I want some that hopefully can match the Apple included-in-the-box OEM cheapos.

Im thinking of: JVC Gumy, Philips Nike Pursue, RocketFish In-Ear.. any other suggestions/recommendations?

If anybody wants to sell the stock in-ear for $10 (unused) PM me.
 
aaaaiyyyyyeee

Why not just get another pair of Apple ear bleeders then? No matter what though anything else has to hurt your ears less.

Those things are just so bad. Ouch. :eek:
Worst Apple product out there.
 
My wife & kids are hard on headphones and go through them regularly because they lose them, damage cords, etc. I gave up on decent headphones for them long ago and now just buy them Skullcandy headphones. You can find them on sale for about $10 at places like Staples, FYE, etc. from time to time. I literally just keep a stash of them in a drawer. Decent headphones for the price.
