Monoprice 8320 In-ear headphones $5.69 + shipping

Quote from cpnfantstk : I guess the right tips is what is making all the difference in sound. Never seen such a wide range of opinions on a pair of earphones. I know most will just throw them in a drawer and forget about them but to the ones who will get the right tips and the right fit will probably be the ones rewarded with excellent sound. A pair of earbuds shouldn't be this much work though.

unless they're a cheapie 8 bucks...

So I bought 3 pairs for myself and for backups. I will say that, for me, the sound is absolutely horrible with the stock tips. I can't get a good seal at all, and they're just plain uncomfortable. Howeer, when I swapped out the tips for a set that actually does fit well and seals up my ear canal, these things are great. Definitely budget beasts, superior to my Koss KSC-75's, Sennheiser HD202's, and HD201's. I don't have any "high end" headphones anymore since I've moved on to speakers for home listening and prefer cheaper things for on-the-go and gym use, but I will say that these are fantastic for the price once you find a set of ear tips that work for you. I went through probably 6 different sets of tips that I had before I settled on a set, so you really have to be patient, and must have access to a variety of tips if you really want to get the most out of these. For some, the added cost of acquiring tips may completely cancel out the cheap price of these headphones, so it's up in the air as to how much of a value these are.

I took these on a hike today and really enjoyed. I just ordered 2 more for backup. Although main deal doesn't work any longer , you can use Coupon code : CATALOG12 to get 10% of on your order until at least Oct 7.

Got a couple pairs when this deal first popped up, and I must say - I'm no audiophile, but they sound significantly better than the old or new iPhone IEH to me (which are the only ones I used up until this point - go ahead, make fun of me )

I popped them out the bag, put them in, and they sounded great. I was surprised by the sound quality. No need to try 6 different sets of buds. Buy these.
