Best Budget Earphones (Under $50)?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Hey guys, was just wondering what you think are the best buds for under $50? My Sennheiser mx581s just broke and I'm looking for something new with good mid-ranges and highs, don't care much for bass as long as it's not distorted.

So far I've looked at :

The MEElectronics M9

the M6

and the m31

and the Brainwavz M1

and the Maximo im-590
are there any others that you guys would recommend looking at?

Ultimate ears 500 is a great choice for $50. It is a bit V shaped but still has good mids and some very nice highs. Bass is definitely present but not overpowering, it's there when it needs to be.

Here is an excellent thread for you to look into:
