    So the ear buds i ordered 3 or 4 years ago from amazon died on me over the weekend. I remember looking on the internet and doing research for those and ppl saying they were top quality for their price I remembered spending like $30 for them

    now they are toast so I'm looking to purchase some new ones. Currently using apple from last gen (before the airpods) and dont like them because 1) they're big and 2) they're rock solid and hurt my ears...my previous buds were skinny and had the soft foam stuff and went like deep in your ear in a way

    So anyone know any certain ear buds I should buy or what I should be looking for I'm not looking on spending more than like $50 but I want something higher quality than dollar store gummy s---

    any suggestions?? is there any in this price range that offer anything over the others

    i read they dont include the thing on the wire that lets you skip to next track though, that is a shame

    Im gonna be brutally honest.


    When it comes to earbuds i really dont think it matters on anythibgbbut preference once u reach a certain standard of quality. Essentially youre payibg for wiring encased in rubber.



    If the reviews are abundant and positive you wont be going wrong normally.
