Reply to Earbuds

About a year go I used a pair of sennheiser earbuds for a while until they broke (luckily I sweet talked the customer service at best buy into giving me the price of the buds in store credit). After that I resolved not to spend large amounts of money on earbuds -- the wear and tear of everyday use is dangerous for all kinds of headphones.

I've been using the apple earpods that came with my iphone for a while now, and I'm not pleased. The bass is too heavy (using the phone's EQ prefs does nothing to help), and they don't sound good period.

My question for you all: In-ear headphones in the $50 range (if they are extremely durable/have a good warranty, that price can definitely be upped) and with high sound quality.

Any recommendations?

Thanks all
