I'm looking for an in-ear headphone with Mic. for my iPhone. I have a $10 one I bought from Fry's but one of the buds is falling apart. Any recommendations for something below $50? I'm sure this one is nice, but it's $100 than I want to spend (since I don't primarily listen to music on the iPhone):

Good Morning Nahn,

I went through this a couple months ago. I tried Blose (very strange fit and sounded terrible), Apple IEM's (the dual armature model), and even tried the on-ear Beats by Dre.

I ended up with Klipsch S4i.

I was purchasing for sound quality primarily, but wanted the mic. The Apple's were a CLOSE second for me, only because of bass response. The Apple iem's are more comfortable, have better mids/highs, and have a less 'tangly' cord. Also for talking purposes, I like the mic on the Apple cord being up higher. The Klipsch's mic hangs too low, imo, down on your chest.

At the time I bought mine I was doing a lot of work outside, and I listened to music all day and slightly preferred the sound on the S4's, but if I had to do it all over again I'd get the Apple iem's.

They're $80 from Apple, but you can find them for less through amazon or ebay.
Good morning, Jason. Thanks for the reco. I'll check out the Apple iems then.
Jason,

Just to confirm, these are the ones you're referring to, correct?

Yep, those are the ones. They are a little light on bass compared to some, but are a great overall set especially considering price. Super comfortable.

Cool...I'll order those then. I kinda prefer my bass to be felt, anyways :D
