Best earbuds under $50 from Best Buy

Thread Starter 
I have a $50 gift card from bestbuy.ca which I'd like to spend on a pair of earbuds. It doesn't have to be amazing, as long as it has noise cancelling and maybe some semi-decent bass.

After a quick "price range" and "on sale" selection, I'm down to these. (feel free to recommend others though)

This

and

this.

Go with the JVC Marshmellows, if they're in that price range. They're wicked.

Searched, but apparently Best Buy doesn't have any of them. frown.gif

Thanks though.

Sony Earbuds With iPod Remote (MDREX38IPB)

I have those for my iPhone and I really like them, the remote is handy for when I'm biking and want to switch songs answer calls etc.. some decent bass outta those as well, I'm no audiophile but they sound great to me .. lol.. Got mine for 14.99 when they went on sale at the source.

If the store you are going to has the Ultimate Ears UE600 on clearance, get those instead.
