I just wanna buy a cheep pair of earbuds that may give me some good sound (preferably with bass) for my iPod. I realize that thier not the best sounding out there but I'm just wondering what do I look for in headphones spes to know if they'll sound good? and the bass is important too so how do I know if they got good bass? or is it just try ema nd see?

the v modas' are sold by amazon for $30. some think they have too much bass. others love em. also jbuds at amazon are $20.
But I would like to know if theres certain specs to look for. Like I always look at headphones specs on the packaging but I never really know what any of it means relevant to the headphones sound quality and bass reproduction.
i judge them by sound, construction,comfort, reviews, and cost. i would say though, in general, the greater the cost, the more fancy the specs. i have a pair of coby headphones that cost around $5 and sound very good. go figure.
I bought these Excell headphones that I don't think you can even buy anymore for 3 bucks and they we're the best headphones I ever bought and my friend bought the ear clips which we're also amazing. Although I find earclips from a few years ago tend to rock.
