im not very educated when it comes to the breakdown of headphones. what i know is im looking for something that works well with an ipod, and is something i can find in stores (canada). im living on a student budget, so something less than or around $75 CDN would be nice. durability is a fairly high priority (ive gone through 3 pairs of in-ear headphones inthe past month) as is comfort. |

well let's see that would be around $50 US money so you should see what deals you can get on the sennheiser px100 headphones (check amazon they go as low as $50 CDN). they are not earbuds but sound darn good. if you strictly want earbuds i've heard very strong remarks on the creative earbuds model EP630. they can also be found dirt cheap on amazon. |

Ella,
If memory serves me correctly, the creative earbuds can be purchased from www.cambridgesoundworks.com
I am not sure if they ship to canada. |

my personal favorites are the Sony MDR-EX71. I've had them for about a year now and they are great. They are comfortable, durable, have great sound quality for the price, and are (in my opinion)well worth the money. On amazon, they go for about 35 US dollars, which I think is around 65-70 Canadian dollars. I am actually repairing (well, trying to) my friends set because he was swinging them around and the wire broke (that was his fault, not the quality of the headphone). So if you aren't going to be doing stupid stuff to them, I recommend them for your situation and will be glad to answer any more questions about them.

Grado SR 60's should be in your range....possibly not.
The Sony MDR-EX71's mentioned above are indeed fairly nice, but the cord IS made extremely poorly (at least the black colored one) and the treble is tinny. |

After using them for four hours a day for three years, I would also recommend the PX100s from Sennheiser. They are great. I have beaten the crap out of them and the still sound better than any sub $100 headphones that I have ever heard. They were well worth the US $50.
