ear buds
slslbs:
I have a pair of Sure EC3 ear buds I got about 4 years ago. I like them but the right one just went. I cleaned it out, but no difference. I suspect a frayed cable or something like that. I was going through reviews of current models but wonder if anyone has any they like / don't like.
the Klipsch are getting great reviews but one thing that scares me a bit is everyone talks about how flimsy the cables look.
thanks

I figure you probably aren't thinking in this direction, but what the Hell. This is grain-of-salt material, so be warned.
I have a pair of Beats by Dre that I use for running/travel etc. For a good athletic earbud, they do the trick. They are made by Monster, so they don't completely suck. I would not purchase these earbuds for every day listening, but in a pinch for exercise, they're ok.
The bass is good - damn near overwhelming at times. Highs are okay, but the mids (as you may expect) could really use the most work.
I definitely feel like I over paid, and wouldn't recommend them.

I mostly use them for travel, doing yard work etc outside, and working out.

I have a set of pioneer earbuds. They weren't cheap, but damn it Jim, I'm not a doctor. Here is the model I have. I like them very much and where they need compensation, my little SANSA flac player has an EQ which does the trick. The site lists them at 129 but best buy had them for 100. My opinion of the Beats/Monster is that you pay at least +50$ in the price for the name.
