I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but im looking for good earbuds below 50 dollars from best buy, since I have a gift card from there that i want to get rid of.
Is there any good headphones that best buy sells under 50 dollars?
I saw this headphone http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1114639462855&type=product&skuId=7221847
but its sold out. So, should i wait for it to come back in stock or is there other good earbuds that best buy carries.
 
After a quick look at what Best Buy offers I would buy the Sennheiser PX100s.
But they are not ear buds and sales tax would push their price over $50. :(
And they are listed as sold as well so....





(I guess that means I don't have an answer for you)
 
wait are u ordering from bestbuy online? or pickup... b/c if its online doesnt mean they have it stock in-store.. but if you're ordering online.. might as well order from someplace else.
 
The Sony EX51 or EX71 are the best they have available, looking at that list. They're in-ear phones, though, if that bothers you (they don't go in very deep, though).

Click to expand...

But the Sony EX71s sound bad, so don't get them -- not only are they painfully bright, but they are a harsh type of bright, unlike a clean type of bright on my MS-1s.

And the veil...when I switch between EX71s and MS-1s, one moment I am surrounded by a heavy veil, the other moment, it's gone.
 
So...you're comparing $50 closed IEMs to $100 open full-size cans? That's not, er, fair. If this guy didn't mind going $50 over budget, didn't mind buying something that he can't use his $50 credit for, and didn't mind wearing a pair of giganto-open-phones with a huge cord around town, then sure, I'd recommend he buy MS-1s.

Sheesh.
