What should I look for in a relatively good, yet cheap set of earbuds?

Asked by Atacama (203points) October 26th, 2010

Nothing over $25 please. I destroy them way to fast for anything pricier. On packaging I always see things like:

Driver Limit: 9mm
Impedance: 16 ohms
Sensitivity: 98db +/-3db at 1KHz
Frequency Response: 30Hz to 20KHz

Which stat listed above matters most in terms of sound quality? I once had a pair I loved that I knew had 10 ohms impedance. Did that matter over a set with 16 ohms? I am so sick of buying crappy earbuds, please help.
