Did not know that, is a receipt required? Becuase I don't have that lol

I didn't need one when I had to RMA mine. You can find the RMA form here http://ca.skullcandy.com/rma

Yea I just filled out all the information, they gave me an RMA, but of course it's 4 to 6 weeks, and it's basically store credit.

So I will still pick up another pair. Just not sure which one yet lol

Got me this set last fall. Works a treat. Good bass and blocks out almost all noise. The vi variant has an iDevice remote (which is pretty crappy, but it gets the job done usually) and there is another variant for Android devices and the plain non-remote variant. The microphone gets the job done but I find that it's even worse than the stock Apple earbuds for picking up your voice - you kinda have to raise the microphone to your mouth.

It's a bit above your price point. But it's Logitech and you've heard enough about their generous warranty policies.

I bought the CX300s a while back but I returned them because I thought they produced too much bass. Instead, I opted for these earbuds and have been happy with them ever since: link. They sound great for only being $7, and while some of the other buds mentioned likely sound better, it's hard to beat that price.

too much bass? Most over-the-ear type can't provide ENOUGH bass and not sound muddy (as a bass player I might be slightly more picky) much less in-ear ones. For 7 bucks they're worth a shot, for a ipod or phone they'll probably do fine

Well, thanks everyone for the suggestions.

In the end I am going to RMA my Skullcandies, and wait for them to get that done with.

In the meantime, I am going to pick up this $10 pair and hope they are fine to last me until I can get my Skullcandies, or maybe I get fed up and pick one of the offered here after awhile lol

I like the JVC Gumy ear buds for cheapies with good quality. They are $10 or less in store. A bit cheaper on Amazon .

I have a pair of expensive Technics and a pair of mid-range Sennhesiers. I like good sound. But when I am just out running around and need a pair to throw in my bag or pocket, I go with these cheap Gumy's because they have decent sound for being so damn cheap.

The problem with those kinds of headphones is that they aren't in-ear, even if they are called that, they aren't. What I mean is, needs to have a changeable/squishy ear piece, that can be pushed in, not hard. Most of the time that kind does not fit my ears good.

Ahhhh, I see. I have the opposite problem. My left ear canal is shaped funny, so the squishy ones fall out.

Have you tried JVC Xtreme Xplosives HA-FX1X?

These are the best in ear headphones you can get for the the price ($17) IMHO. The sound quality is amazing, they are comfortable (I've used them for a couple of hours at a time without any problems). The highs and bass are very good balanced so that the bass doesn't mask other sounds.

Honestly, I couldn't believe the sound the first time I put them on when they arrived at my house.

They have 3 sizes for the ear buds and the carrying case is made of plastic but well built, very handy and cool looking.

PS: there is a new model made to replace this but I haven't tried them. The reviews for those are very good as well, though.
