Best for under $40 IMHO.

Holla. Of course, if you are a p*ker player, shouldn't some $150 Etymotic ER-6's be cheap to you?

I guess, if you would rather get those than the better Shure headphones. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

However, the sound difference b/n either of those and the Sharps, and I guess Sonys to a lesser extent, isn't enough to warrant paying the price premium unless you are very specific about your music. And if that's the case, you usually won't end up buying such a "cheap" set of ear phones when you can get a bud like the E5c's, or some set of cans. I liken these to the BMW 325. Sure, it's a beemer, but it's the Honda Civic of the category.
