3 CommentsMy iPod headphones broke, are there any good brands I could get for like (as in exactly/under) $15 on eBay?
I'd prefer non-headset, since they'd be used at school, on the bus, etc.
Edit: Also, it'd be nice if they had a 11th notch or something for when I'm on the bus. A lot of times maxing the iPod isn't even enough.

$15 will not get you a good set of headphones, anywhere.
But it might get you better than what you had. Look for the in-ear canal type. Most have a silicon earplug around the driver. I know the Sony Fontopia style are pretty decent if you can find a low dollar pair, but by now there are probably some generic ones as well.
By fully blocking your ear canal they can eliminate a large portion of background noise. That means you don't need as much volume to hear it clearly, and the more sublter sounds will come through better.

I got some KOSS Sparkplugs. I heard from an Amazon review that with a minor modification you can get better sound than many expensive headphones. At $6 I figure it was worth a shot. ;)

I own a pair of these. They produce just about as good a sound as you can expect for anything under $40.
No in-line volume control, though.
