I'm looking to purchase a pair of earbud headphones, I was wondering what you guys thought the best value for price was. Thanks!

Definetly for the best value, the Creative EP-630's. The audio quality is very good, excellent bass, good mids and ok highs. Best Buy will have them on sale every once and a while for $15 so just hold out until then.

Thanks for the tip. I wanted a pair of in-ear headphones and I was thinking about buying these last time I saw them at BB.ca for $15 but wasn't sure how good they were. I'll make sure to grab a pair next time. :cheesygri

just don't use them in the gym, they make a lot of noise everytime the cable rubs on your shirt or something.

I also have the Creative EP-630. In terms of value, you can't beat $15 for these.

I really love those (if your a bass lover). They are really "fun" sounding. I prefer them over the Creative EP-630s.

If you want to spend a little more, I love my Westone UM1s... amazing for the price IMHO.

Yeah, that unfortunately happens with all of the in ear headphones. I use my creative 630's at the gym regardless though because compared to the background noise level in the gym, a little cable rub noise every once and a while is far better. Not to mention you can run music much quieter, saving your hearing in the process :D
I have noticed that while using cardio equipment the cable doesn't seem to hit anything if you put your Mp3 player in one of the waterbottle holders, which is perfect. :) But when you're lifting weights it tends to move around and get in the way.
Just my opinion though.
