| Looking for replacement for me ipod headphone OEM
My OEM ipod headphone broke, i am look for replacement ones. I dont want to upgrade or downgrade.
I dont mind the original sound quality. I am looking to spend around $15
There are alot of fake ipod headphones, I wonder if they are any good?
NCix has some G-cube, Sony, Altec Lansing in ear style ones for 3.99, 6.99, 12.99

get some in ear headphones, you won't go back to the oem apple's.
they aren't very expensive, i got a pair of skull candy's from the states a while back for like $15. they're noise cancelling and sound awesome, almost like having a tiny pair of subs in your ears.

Try the JVC Marshmallows, you can usually pricematch them to ~$20 or so, otherwise in your price range the Altec Lansings look pretty good. As those above have said, go for some good in-ears, it'll cut out the outside noise, and let you actually hear the bassline without making yourself deaf haha. To be honest though, I think ~$50 for headphones would be a sweet spot for most, the sound quality goes up pretty quickly.

Whatever you do, don't craigslist apple head phones and buy the china knockoffs they last for like a week.
Futureshop has headphones that are like 9.99 which are better

I bought these for $30 Panasonic Stereo Earbud Headphones (RPHJE270) - Black : In-Ear/Earbud Headphones - Future Shop
i use them at the gym and running. they are really comfortable and sound awesome compared to the apple earphones.
another good thing is the 1 year warranty where i can have them replaced in store as long as it's not physical damage

I bought a $25 pair of Sony earphones at the Sony Store and they were actually quite decent.
