Looking for a <$50 CAD set of earbuds that aren't crap

@Title.

 

Looking for a pair of in-ear headphones (with even half way decent audio, I don't really care) that are less than $50 and are decently durable. I prefer wired to wireless, and am really looking for something that can be an everyday carry. Everything on the recommended list was significantly over $100 CAD. Does anyone have any experience with anything in this range, and what would you recommend?


Thanks,

TEB


Note: $50CAD = $ 37USD.

It's <$50 :)

I'm a pretty boring guy, and the Apple EarPods­ have always sounded pretty good for me. 

 

You're opinion is probably different, but for about $35 @ staples, they're pretty decent headphones for me.

That's USD, but they actually don't suck.

I live in Canada... I work at Staples... They're $35. Maybe Staples is weird, because I know they sell for $50 on the website.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Case and point: Staples is an anomaly should be handled with caution.
