Battle of the budget earbuds

L.T.Stone · **Joined:** Sun Jan 25, 2009 3:13 pm **Posts:** 162

I have/have access to the following earbuds:
-Alpha brainwaves
-Vmoda bass freq's
-Radius Atomic bass
-Senheiser cx 300
-Skullcandy ink'd
-Lenntek Sonix HD

All of these can be bought for less then $30 and are all good bang for the buck
If you guys are interested I'll do a review/comparison.

I don't mean to sound rude but skullcandy ink'd? they dont compare to any of these at all.seriously man i really hate cx300's but there is no way ink'd come even close to those. they kinda like brainwavz but more expensive and more crap. dont take that in the wrong way. but still i have to say something.

I just have to wait until I receive the lenntek sonix and skullcandies to come in. Now I am no audiophile and this will be my personal opinion. I'm sure there will be people like Big-man who will disagree with me and think I'm wasting my time but I know when I was looking at affordable ear buds I enjoyed reading reviews and comparisons and if anyone has any specific questions about the previously listed ear buds feel free to ask.

That would be pretty cool for you to do a comparison.
Thank you very much.

LOL man i really would like to read a review.all i was saying is that ink'd dont really compare very well with any of the other ones on the list. there are like nice looking stock buds. youll see what i mean whn you get them.

I feel that the ink'd are pretty ok for its price :P not good, just ok. But build quality leaves much to be desired. Mine lasted under 2 months before 1 side conked out. LUCKILY my local shop was out of stock so i got to trade and upgrade them for a different model :P

Will there be more added to this list because it seems rather short. Some that come to mind in that price are the beta's, soundmagic, jbuds, MeElectronics, Koss, Kicker iem's, Empire wicked series and plenty of others. I would like to see your reviews on the ones you listed but would love to see others added from users that have experiences with them and have a review. It would be beneficial to everyone for future reference for everything to be in one sticky rather than having to search several different users reviews.

I would say the Betas would probably be a much better choice than all those listed there, although my view is probably a little biased
