Hey,

 

I'm looking for a nice pair of earbuds since I have had enough of apple ones. I have $300usd max to blow. Will be listening to music but also using them for general movie and youtube watching.

 

Thanks in advance.

Earbuds kinda all suck, as far as I know. I can only recommend the best headphones.

Sure, but I'm looking for something that is very portable as I don't want to lug around a headset.

Dude skip in-ear crap. Ear fatigue is a real pain in the ass.

Look at Sony's MDR-ZX770BN, as portable as it gets. NFC + Bluetooth + Digital Noise Cancelation

When choosing earphones, skip in-ear stuff. It's not about the sound quality or build quality, its about the piece of rubber or silicone that is rubbing on your ear, creating a air-proof seal, beating your eardrum around.

2+ hours of listening - pain garuanteed!

Primary: Lenovo T61 / Intel Core2Duo T7200 @ 2.2GHz / 3GB DDR2 / NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M / Fedora 22 <<<< THE WHITE KNIGHT

Secondary: Compaq Presario CQ56 / AMD V130 @ 2.3GHz / 2GB DDR3 / AMD Radeon HD 4250 / Windows 8.1 <<< THE FORGOTTEN HERO

Well, they do look nice but I already have a pair of Bose noise cancelling. So if you had to where earphones, is there anything you could recommend?

Not really. All cause pain. Look for some with foam tips or something.
