I need a good set for the train I takes all day, yo...

I was looking at this set
http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-500830-CX300-B-Earbuds-Black/dp/B000E6G9RI/ref=pd_bbs_sr_6?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1199245344&sr=8-6

I've also heard good things about this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Koss-KSC75-Po...3?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1199245761&sr=8-3
and for 15 dollars... I don't see how I could go wrong, unless they sound terrible

I don't care what kind of headphones they are: Earbuds, over the ear (Like the ones that clip around), and I don't like the Ipod style ones. I want them to be no more than 60 dollars, durable, and portable. Imma be wrapping that shit around my IPod and throwin' it in my locka with my jacket in the morning, and those things needa fit in my pocket.

Helps!

I personally don't mess around with portable headphones besides logitech freepulse's. Koss is really cheap, its like really generic electroinics, just fyi.
 
You say you don't care what kind of headphones, but I would recommend considering some isolating earphones if you take the train. Lowering the random outside noise when listening to audio on your earphones makes a world of difference. I just have a pair of JVC marshmallows fx-33(these are low end) with shure e2 foamie inserts for my isolating earphones. I would get a pair of Koss KSC75's just to have some good overall headphones for general purpose use.
 
I'm not a fan of clip ons - they tend to lack a lot of bass (smaller drivers and they're not so firm against your ear).

The CX300's are a good choice, and I believe that Creative has a model that is merely a rebadge, so you may want to check which is cheaper....but I can't remember which.

Just...with canalphones, just make sure you keep your ears and your pockets/whatever you keep the headphoones in clean. You'll thank me later :)
 
So, now i've narrowed it down. I want some Canalphones, (the in ear buds), any good ones. I'm looking at the Marshmallow ones, but I'm not sure about the quality. If anything I may just order the sennheiser ones I suggested earlier.

Anymore suggestions?
 
the sennheiser mx400 headphones are the best earbuds ive used, excluding hundred dollar shure e5's. you can get them on amazon for around 14 bucks i believe.
