So now that I have had my Dell DJ 30 since the 10 days of Dell deals I am wondering if somebody can recommend some good sounding earbuds to go with it. Price doesn't matter. The ones that came with with it are not the greatest!
TIA,
rookie

Price doesn't matter? Cool.
For $550 US, you can get the custom molded UE-5 (http://www.ultimateears.com/UE-5_PRO.htm)
Another one I suggest is the Etymotics (http://www.etymotic.com/) ER-4P's, around $240USD
Down from that is the Shure (http://www.sfmarketing.com/ears/index.html) E3C, about $130 USD
If those are two expensive, the Shure E2C is another excellent choice, should be available for around $70-80 USD on ebay or mail-order.

If price isn't an issue, check out the Ultimate Ears UE-10 Pro. They're custom molded to your ear and cost $900 :razz:

Easy, the best bang for your buck are the Sony MDR-EX51's and I just happen to be selling them brand new for $40.

Sony EX71SL struck a good balance between price and sound quality. If you want more there are always Eytmonic and Shure.

Rookie can afford the best...
But, in reality, I think you would be best off with something like the Sony ex-71s.. I bought a pair in Japan and I enjoy them. Someone is selling new ones on the BST forums here.

Anyone try the newer Sony EX81SL yet? Bass was supposed to be better on these than the EX71SL.
Or should I just stick with buying the 71's?...

Ended up getting the Sony MDREX71SL Fontopia Headphones. So far so good!
