Best Earbud headphones for value/price?
I'm looking to purchase a pair of earbud headphones, I was wondering what you guys thought the best value for price was. Thanks!

Definetly for the best value, the Creative EP-630's. The audio quality is very good, excellent bass, good mids and ok highs. Best Buy will have them on sale every once and a while for $15 so just hold out until then.

Thanks for the tip. I wanted a pair of in-ear headphones and I was thinking about buying these last time I saw them at BB.ca for $15 but wasn't sure how good they were. I'll make sure to grab a pair next time.

just don't use them in the gym, they make a lot of noise everytime the cable rubs on your shirt or something.

I also have the Creative EP-630. In terms of value, you can't beat $15 for these.

I really love those (if your a bass lover). They are really "fun" sounding. I prefer them over the Creative EP-630s.

If you want to spend a little more, I love my Westone UM1s... amazing for the price IMHO.

Yeah, that unfortunately happens with all of the in ear headphones. I use my creative 630's at the gym regardless though because compared to the background noise level in the gym, a little cable rub noise every once and a while is far better. Not to mention you can run music much quieter, saving your hearing in the process 
I have noticed that while using cardio equipment the cable doesn't seem to hit anything if you put your Mp3 player in one of the waterbottle holders, which is perfect.
But when you're lifting weights it tends to move around and get in the way.
Just my opinion though.
