Noise canceling earbuds

[worth]

Can anyone recommend a decent pair? Maybe $50 max. (unless there is a really good reason to spend more).

One stipulation is they have to have replacement foam ear thingies. I recently lost one pair of earbuds and I have a second pair that I can't find the correct foam ends for so they are pretty much useless.

I'd like to buy the headphones and then buy a ton of foamies at the same time so they last a really long time unless there is a better way.

Thanks!

Can't beat the bang for the buck on these guys. You can buy as many packs of replacement buds as you want, however, each pair comes with a set of 5-6 different sizes.

Also they won't be foam. Noisecancelling earbuds will have to go in your ear and will be made of rubber. If you are not okay with that, your other option is for over the ear ones, in which case I'd recommend these:

You can't beat these at your price point. Look up some online review first though.

I was in the market for a set of new headphones for working out - thanks for the heads up.

You might not agree with what I'm about to say, but I'll say it anyways. I've spent many $s for many years trying to find that ''perfect'' earbud. But I can honestly say that as long as they are the ones that go in your ear, there really is no major difference for me. No matter what I have paid, they mostly sound the same. I have found that the quality of the source player (ipod, phone, etc) has way more to do then the sound quality. IMO, don't waste your money on a top end pair, get the cheap $20 pair from Walmart like I did. They are just as good as the higher priced ones.


I bought a cheap pair this a couple years ago and they are still going strong.



My computer has an incredible sound card and when I listen to mine its sounds like I'm at a concert. On my phone, it sounds crappy because my phone player sucks. Seriously, dont' spend too much on a pair. Most of the ones like this are noise cancelling already.

London Drugs has these great pairs of ear buds, they are about 20 bucks. I've had to buy a new pair every year or so because I'm horrible with them.. lose them, ruin them.. but man they blow most things out of the water. They are so effn comfortable and have all difference sizes of the foamy inserts.

I was going to suggest Shure, then saw your budget. Moving along.

I bought the older version of these 7 years ago and they are still going strong. I love them. Fairly cheap and they do the trick! A lot more compact and they provide very good noise cancellation for in-ear style.
