25 $ ear buds or with decent directional sound

[AnTicXz]

I want some ear buds that have more then just the ear tip as an attachment method. Like over the year or in the ear somethings.

 

I have some right now that are good But If I upgraded them I need some good ear bud tips or and some way to attach them to my ear.

This is gonna sound bad, but if you want good earbuds for under $25, you're kinda screwed. Personally, i'd recommend Skullcandy Ink'd earbuds. They have good sound, and they're nigh indestructible. Mine have gone through much abuse, and work just as good as day 1.

Maybe some will blame me for this advice.. But for earbuds I use the Apple EarPods. I like them a lot. 

Not the best sound in the world, best I like how they fit in my ears and the sound is good enough for me.

At the moment I use the JBL grip 200. It's around 30 dollars. They sound okay, but more importantly, they fit really good. Especially during sport.

Can confirm, I have a pair of these. I did manage to bash up mine a bit (lol) but they still work perfectly fine. I don't use them anymore but that's not for any particular reason.

Hard NOOO!!! (<= Anybody watch Letterkenny!?)

 

For under $10 you can buy KZ ED7s. 

 

- They have such excellent directional sound, that sometimes you forget that you're wearing earbuds.

- They have smooth treble unlike most earphones you buy in the store under $25 which sound shrill with boosted treble.

- They have clean, punchy bass. 

- The mids are forward, not drowned in the background like most earbuds under $25. Vocals are beautiful. 

 

Unfortunately, they ship from China so you'll have to wait 1~2 months for shipping. They're 100% worth it though. 

 

If you want over-ear style earbuds, consider the KZ ZS3. People also like the KZ ZSTs, but I wouldn't touch them with a 10-foot pole because they have boosted treble and may sound fatiguing to some people (like me). 

 

You can find them on Amazon, Wish, Aliexpress etc...Just google them. You won't regret it. 

 

There are so many awesome earbuds under $30 from China that you can easily go onto a shopping frenzy spending hundreds of dollars buying cheap earphones. Thankfully, I only spent about $100 and the KZ ED7s sound just perfect to me. But everyone's ears are different and opinions can change from one person to another. The ED7s are a safe bet because they don't exaggerate the high or low frequencies. They're just kinda balanced.
