Could anyone recommend me some earbuds for no more than $20?

Durability is key...I'm sick of buying earbuds only to have them die after a month of use.

If you're only investing $20 in headphones then you're not going to get the best quality. It's really hit or miss with cheap headphones, I've had skullcandies (the really cheap ones that last a year) and sometimes those gummy ones last a while. But then again I've had some that break/die after about 3 months of use.

iPod/iPhone earbuds are the best for the price of 20$.

My last pair of nice headphones(Sennheisers) just broke after only 3 months.
So I just bought some ink'd skullcandys for 5 bucks...they aren't very bad for most uses. They actually block noise better then my other pair, and they're ****ing cheap. The bass is also pretty punchy and nice...They're not REALLY good, but they're worth the money.

I highly recommend Sony earbuds, I have a $20 pair and I like the fit and sound.

If you're only gonna pay $20 it doesn't matter what you buy.

They all suck at $20.

I dished out 100+ but they're were for my guitar amp and stereo.

Lasted somewhat over a year I think, can't even remember exactly. Just bought another pair and still happy with em.

If they're that old where could you find them without ordering online?
