So, I'm in the market for some new headphones. I'm mostly looking for earbuds, but I want comfortable ones, unlike the Apple Earbuds. Also something not too expensive. Any suggestions?
Sincerly, your president.

Sony MDR-EX81 earbuds. They come in black or white and are great for working out.

I allways had problems with by ipod earphones but since i had the AKG: k26p I never had a problem it's really good for subways and noisy places because they block the sound. plus their foldable. The price is maybe a little high (49 euros) but they're worth it.

define "not too expensive" because you can range from headphones that are as cheap as US$10 while there are headphones that can reach as high as US$1000.
personally, i went with sony mdr-ex71 last year and within a few months, they started to rip up. however, for US$50, they are of pretty good sound quality, just not of pretty good build quality.

currently, i have shure's e2c headphones which are really good headphones, but as for comfort level, they can be debatable.

I've had excellent luck with these from Radio Shack:

They sound almost as good as my Sennheiser HD-570 headphones. Comes with a nifty little case too. Looks like they're on sale for 50% off ($8, in-store only); I think I'm going to go snag a backup pair
