Sorry for being the one who posts this weekly thread but I've been trying to research earbuds, and im in a place where I have limited reception, so browsing from site to site is a PITA

Anyways, thanks to previous recommendations from this board, I bought the soundpeats off of amazon and thought they performed pretty well considering the $20 price tag. But those are starting to fade out on me after over a year so I'd like to try something else.. preferably something under $50, but I'm looking for a sweat proof, earbud style that has in line controls and a quality sound? I'd prefer Bluetooth but I'm not completely against getting a wired set

Can this board throw out any recommendations for me? TIA

You use them? How do you like them?


The cheetahs don't look like they'd be too comfortable in my ears.. how are the magnetos?

I have them and I use them for every workout. They are incredibly comfortable, and this is coming from a guy whose ears start hurting after a while whenever I wear other earphones.

I will watch some reviews on them when I go to lunch..

Are you familiar with the AOKII brand?

This one seems to have the features I want, just don't know about sound quality

Honestly, there probably won't be much difference in quality from 25 to 50

Picked up these Phasier 750s a few weeks ago when they were $50. Comparable to the jaybirds and beats imo. Haven't had any issues so far.

I see they went up to $60 but keep an eye out, they should drop down to $50 again.

for earbuds under $50...MEElectronics M6 Pro, and dont look back.



ETA - not bluetooth, but a high quality wired set will sound a lot better than bluetooth.

If you wanna spend more money, I recently got the Samsung IconX's from bestbuy (with a 100$ gift card) for like 150$ total (pre card).

Might be way out of budget but I work out daily and deadlift and squat 2-3 times a week and cords absolutely SUCK but that's just me. Anyways, they sound good, fit firmly and have 0 wires. Also they even have a feature to enable background noise to be amplified which is really nice when running.

But yea, expensive compared to the 50$ budget you mentioned. Just listing it as an option though.

SportTiger1, can you clarify if those M6 Pro's come with a mic in the cable?

Yes, comes with a twisted cable with no mic, and another cable with mic and controls. I dont know if it's android and iphone compatible, i've only used the mic. Very high quality unit for the money.
