Hey guys! Cata here! im looking for good earphones for my Nexus 5 because it has a soft speaker hahaha. I have a budget of $50-$80. Im not a Audiophile, just want some good sounding earphones with nice bass and won't break easily. I usually just tuck my Earphones in my pocket after use hahaha :). I was taking a look at the Razer Hammerhead Pro today and it looks alright hahaha,any suggestions? :)

 

Edit: My Current PC Headphones are the Corsair Vengeance 1500 V2, they sound really nice :)

There are many models for them, and most of them are very similar. Just go to some online store and search for those brands.

Its hard to find those brands here on where I live hahaha,usually the ones i see are $100 above haha

Hey thanks! But sadly I don't have much time to check on the 2 guys that you recommended :(. I have a really hectic schedule right now at my University...so...yeah haha. Sorry! :((

But the Yamaha looks alright....does it break easily? Like when I tuck them in my pocket all the time when not in use.

 

Haha

Hahahahaha

Hahahaha

Hahahahahahahahahaha

Ha

I enjoyed the JBL J33. :|

Hahaha,was that sarcasm? HAHAHA xD

Your gratuitous use of "ha" was simply overwhelming, but those are my general recommendation for a cheaper IEM.

Honestly, you could find better OVERALL headphones for that price, but if you like bass and need a good IEM, the Razer Hammerhead Pro would be a good buy for you. Good bass focus, great build quality, nice looks.

Won't they break easily if I store them at my pocket the whole day when not in use?

Yeah, and they kinda suck...

Really the Sennheiser IEM or the Etymotic MC5's are pretty solid build and good sounding options from reputable companies. Though I wish you could for the SE-215's, their detachable cable would be the best for you.

The CX300 and either of the Ultimate Ears are good values.

Ultimate Ears looks nice. Does it sound well and does not break easily?

Its average, nothing to write home about but not terrible or disappointing. 

Better than the Hammerhead Pro?
