Wireless or Wired under 50$?

Hey guys,

 

The cable of my Sony earphones just broke after 5 years. Of course right as I'm sitting at the airport waiting to board....but that's besides the point.

 

I need to order some new earphones and I'm not sure what to go with. I've been tempted by a pair of Bluetooth earphones but since my budget is somewhat below 50$, I don't really know if that's worthwhile.

 

Looking at wired earphones I'd be tempted to buy these Sony ones again since they have been great over the years and are the only ones that manage really good bass without ruining highs.

 

Would love to have some recommendations for both, wired and wireless earphones under 50$. Maybe there is something better than my current Sony's.

 

Earphones only please, I listen to music on the go and headphones are too bulky for me.

 

Thanks guys!

i got my Studio Nivå's for €50 used, they are very nice with good isolation, very good sound and decent battery life

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

3.5 hours of battery live sounds painful to be honest.

Wired ofcourse ( detachable wire ), so you should get better audio quality ( bluetooth chips etc costs so ).

On another hand you can get these Wireless Apple Earbuds, they're good in sound just looks lame.

No idea where you found that site but that's awesome. Thank you!

It is if you travel long distances but for my daily comutes and school the battery case keeps them going no problem for a week or so
