So my skullcandy ink’d headphones just broke. I loved them but I must’ve blasted my music too loud cuz the speakers r busted now.
What in ear headphones would you suggest ? I’m looking for a good cheaper option like the inkd and a good more expensive option around $80ish just to give me options.

Audio Technica or Sennheiser have pretty good headphones for a good price.

Haha.
I just don’t understand why people need 80$ earphones.

$80 is cheap. Once you experience a high quality audio source with a nice pair of headphones it’s hard to go back to cheap ones.

That’s how I felt going to my inkd.
I just want something a little more budget friendly with as good or better quality as what I had.

If you like skullcandy go for the Titans. Same quality and great sound.
Did you already get them replaced. SKDY will send you a new pair if you send in the old ones.

Skullcandy is a fashion brand, not a headphone brand…

I actually find their Hesh 2’s rather nice, especially for the price.

2 things,
1. Look at a hifi discussion about good sounding $50+ headphones. Have fun finding one where skullcandies are mentioned in a good way.
2. It isn’t hard to compete at the $12 headphone market. They all sound terrible. It also happens that all skullcandies sound the same (Cheap $15 headphones).

truth. I can’t stand skull candy.
Monster makes good earbuds… Jamz are excellent, Turbines are really good too. Or sennheiser ie8’s but I don’t think you want to pay that much.

In terms of value for money, Sennheiser HD202 is probably one of the better options.

In the end, buy what you like in the price range you are comfortable with. Always works best for me.
