Good headphones

[2poor]

I just got an ipod and since the headphones that come with it have no bass, I wanted to get another pair. Anyone have any recommendations? Possibly below $50.

Want bass?

These are probably the best headphones under 100.

Trust me, these are the ones to get.

They're not huge. They work for portable use.

If you want really small, then the next best would be the Sennheiser PX100s.

Hard to recommend earbuds.

These are decent, buy pricey.

If you want to go that small, best to go with "in-ear" headphones like these, they'll sound better than most big headphones:

Dang. Those are really pricey for earbuds. Why the price difference between earbuds and headphones?

They're pricey, but it's the only way you'll get any bass.

You got your standard headphones, which are the round cans over your ear.
Then you got earbuds, which come with all mp3 players etc. They're the small little buds that hang from your ear.

Then you have the "in-ear" buds. These sound amazing.
They actually go into your ear canal, but not too far.
Blocks out sound perfectly, and you'll get a full range of sound from them.

I'd name some, but there are too many. You can try www.head-fi.org. Those people really know their headphones/earbuds/IEMs and market prices.
