whats your favorite ear phone?

First post so here it goes.... This is a big subject for me. I want to protect my hearing AND listen to music. A couple of posters mentioned that they tried many different ones before finding the right pair. It's hard to find the right ones for sure!! Anyway, i had a pair of the Koss ones, best at keeping out the noise, great sound and incredibly cheap. Then the foam was getting crusty and radio shack stopped carrying them. went to FYE and found Skullcandy "INKD" earphones. $10.00 and i put them in and rode home. 15 miles and it was the quietest best sounding ride i have ever had. That was in september of last year and they are still perfect....except the helmet popping them out sometimes. didnt mean to go on but that is my .02

BTW nothing like some Audioslave in crystal clear stereo with the 929 doing above leagal speeds.

Did some riding just a little above the limit today with the revs around 10 and the ink'd plugs were amazing. And I was rippin it up with some tantric in the background, very pleasant.

Thanks for the info guys. I just ordered the skullcandy inkd smokin buds after reading all your reviews here.

just picked myself up a set of skull candy buds today. $15 at Target. I haven't had a chance to check them out yet, but im going on a long ride tomorrow morning, so we'll see!

I used the ear buds for about a week now. They have great clarity, but not too much bass.

They also work very well at blocking out other noises. It's like wearing earplugs. The wind noise was almost eliminated.

Too bad though. I forgot to put them in my pocket when stopping and they dragged into my chain and I lost one ear bud. I still rode with only one the next day.

Were they on sale at Target?

shures are sick i love mine but a bit pricey. i hear awesome things about skull candies best bang for the buck

I did 130 on the new wheels today with the buds in and they worked just fine. I actually didnt hear much of the music, but it was plenty loud enough.

Curt: I don't know if it was a sale or not, but for $15, I wasnt too concerned. Definately good buy for the price

Yeah for $15 I should go and buy another pair.

Anyone have any luck with other cheap ear buds like the skull candy?

It seems like every other headphone set I have had in the past had better bass. Maybe it's b/c I've never used a headphone that actually goes into the ear canal. I suppose the drivers have to be so small that they can't produce much bass.
