Sound Isolation & Noise Cancelation Technology

This past year I’ve gone through like 5 packs of earbuds.

I found a good pair in terms of sound/isolation ($20 HVC) but they were very flimsy and seeing as I’m a college student (who ends up bundling the buds in my pockets a lot) I can’t afford to replace them every month or so….

So now I’m willing to pay a bit more for two things:

1) Durability: I have a cheap pair of JVC bubbles that have taken a LOT of abuse and still work- unfortunately the sound is crap .

2) Sound isolation for others. I don’t want to have to wonder if other people near me in the library can hear it when Abba comes on the shuffle.

3) A good sound- clear and enjoyeable- no need for more.

Thanks!

I refuse to join the trend of those that like to drop $30+ on earbuds. one of the stupidest ways to spend your money

I also just bundle my earbuds into a pile and shove them in my pocket and they’ve been fine for 9 months

I use those white earbuds that Apple sends with iPods. they’re $30 by themselves and they have new in ear ones with better quality. they cost $30 more than your limit but sound good from what I hear
