Can I get some recommendations on good earbuds?

These Denon ones are pretty good and in your range.

Here is one of many sites out there to review based on your needs

Apple In-Ear heaphones have been getting some good reviews (Shocking I know) but are a little bibt out of your price range at $79.

I have been using these Skull Candy 50/50 earbuds for about a year now, and they’ve worked perfectly for me. I think that they have pretty good sound quality (although you certainly can get better if you’re willing to spend more money), and they also have the mic/play/pause/vulume buttons that you wanted (I agree..I can’t live without these little buttons).

Thanks for the suggestions. I’ve been reading some reviews on Amazon and I found these 50/50s for $27. I might order them pretty soon. Quite a few reviewers mention them wearing out or breaking within a few weeks to a few months. @RedmannX5 anything special I need to worry about to make them last? Also, is the jack straight like the ipod headphones, or is a right-angle jack?

Push your budget and go ahead and get some Bose earbuds. You won’t regret it. I love love love my Bose earbuds and if you have to save a few lunches or dinners it will be worth it. There is nothing that compares, unless you want to go $200 or more. for $100 you will have a symphony of music you never expected to hear through a pair of earbuds. Once there… you won’t go back. Go for it!

@Aqua I’m actually pretty rough on headphones and they’ve lasted me a year. But as for specific advice, I always wrap mine up around my hand before storing them so they don’t get tangled, and they come with a protective case that’s pretty sleek. And the jack is straight like the regular Apple earbuds.

I found really good ear buds for a lot less than most. Sentry brand at worldstart.com. A ‘good deal’ feature at that site is a ‘free shipping’ policy, so you pay only for the posted price.
