Not a big fan of earbuds, so what we would be the best budget earphones you could get?

sadly, the best earbuds aren't in production anymore and if you try to get them over ebay chances are that you get fakes which sound like absolute SHIT.

sony made the best one and they did cost like 9 bucks.

current buds and the ones in your OP suck hard.

Piston 3. They're discontinued though and fakes are everywhere.

The Piston Hybrids and the newly released Piston Capsule are good options too.

>>55152921
you posted them

unless you want those in-ear dildo's you completely shove inside your soundhole

Ask /csg/ and they'll point you towards several great budget earphones

Can't get better than them locally. Online there's things like Piston 3s.

Rock zircons, I've owned pistons and kzATE'S before and they don't come close to zircon's quality.

>sound signature

i actually find audiophile memes interesting, is there any other made-up terms like that?
>>
>>55155388
Anon, all terms are made up, that's how naming things works.
>>
>>55155402

some terms can be measured though. those sound signature/sound stage and other bullshit are just meaningless buzzwords.

Got the hybrids off amazon for 20 bucks. The bass is crazy good and the highs are decent. Definitely an upgrade to the piston 2s which broke after abusing them. Just wondering how long these will last since they look kinda delicate.
Anyone else got them?
>>
never ever compensate with budget shit.
either go big or go home, if u cant afford it safe up more.
>>
>>55154445
i concur. Phillips SHE3590 Best budget heaphone ever.

l iterally have 5 spare pairs in my desk. I loose/break a pair every 6months and dont even stress. ZJust reach into the desk. i love the future.
>>
>>55155523
Headphones definitely have tier. Under 50 they're all going to be pretty much crap. At around 100 bucks they're all going to be decent. Once you hit 150-200 pretty much everything will be great but past that you get diminishing returns and most of the differences aren't noticeable except by computers
>>
>>55152921
just bought the xiaomi hybrids for 16$(14,xx€) and they are better than my 50€ Soundmagic E10s.
Can only recomment the xiaomis
>>
>>55152921
IGNORE THE SHILLS. The best v shape earbuds with dual drivers and excellent build quality are the narmoo S1's. The ear tips suck but any comply tx400 eartip will fit.
>>
>>55155531
SHE3590 are only good if you get old production since new one is garbage tier. And either way VE monks are better and cheaper.
>>
>>55152921
Any Sennheiser earbuds.

Can the ve monks do bass ? I love the Phillips particularly because of the earplug noise isolation.
>>
>>55155639
Well desu it looks like you don't take care of your earbuds. I meant more along the lines of them just not working anymore
>>
>>55155388
how stupid are you. I mean a not trebel ass fucking ear canon. I like pretty flat but leaning a little warm sounding. If you think that is a meme too. It means a little bit of bass and mid bass increase... is that too MEME for you? It means that frequencies 50-200hz a little boosted... and by boosted I mean to increase the decibels of by a small amount.

Fucking idiot.
