Best Headphones under $40?

by qqqq88 Sep 7, 2010 8:51AM PDT

I was thinking Jbuds J3 headphones (sometimes on sale at Amazon) but there were some reviews that said that in-ear headphones like the J3 are not great for when you're moving around/jogging, because every time the wire hits your body it makes a sound that interrupts your music.

Is that a valid concern? Thanks

if you like to use skype which is like msn exept better talking you should use the ones included in your ipod touch package because they have a mini mike, if you don't want your ones could you send them to me coz i lost mine.

Earbud Covers

by Breppies Oct 1, 2010 8:07AM PDT

Personally I still like Apple earbuds. I know they get a bad rap in the media, but for the money they are by far the best under $40. Most of the other stuff out there in this price range is junk. Check out this Gizmodo article. http://gizmodo.com/5617200/the-secret-scam-of-cheap-earbuds. Personally the only thing wrong with Apple earbuds is that they hurt after a while, but you can take care of that with some earbud covers.
