good earphones
Hello,
I'm looking to buy some earphones, but considering music is one of the most important things in my life, I need a good f@#in pair.
I'm looking for the earbud types, with multi-layer sound absorption. But I also want reeeeeeeeealy good bass. Basically full range 20-20000 Hz, low impedance. I tried my friend's, and they were amazing (Korg maybe?) but when I ask her what they are, and where she got it from, she doesn't know.
Anyone have good suggestions?

I've been using Shure SE310s. These are earbuds, but for your specs, you might have to spend a bit more for a slightly higher model. You can check out Etymotic, which I heard are decent as well. There is a third company out there, but have slipped my mind at the moment. PM Orko, he would know.
why do you want ear buds? They hurt my ears. Yeah, big cans look retarded walking down the street, but they're hell of alot more comfortable and generaly sound alot better for much cheaper too.

ahh...makes sense.
If I was looking for a pair of ear buds, I'd dip over to future shop. You can buy a pair, try them out and return them after a couple of weeks if they're not what you're looking for....rinse and repeat as needed.
i recently bought a pair of AKG studio buds for $60~ at moog audio...absolutely no regret...just alot of satisfaction
my buddy just told me about this sick earphone manufacturer run by Logitech...

my next pair
the problem about those type are that they get annoying hanging the wire over the ear....
ive been using Shure SCL-2K for 2 years now. they are great sound but the wires are mega crap! they crack or have poor contact,etc. i have owned 3 of these headphones, returning for new ones all the time. I actually just returned now for the 4th time this Saturday to Dorval,QC SF Marketing. they do this stuff.
my warranty runs out in December initially. but back in March i upgraded to SE210 cuz they have better made wires. but the sound was so horrible (and they cost more haha) so i returned for SCL-2K again. thing is, when i upgraded to se210, my warranty was also automatically upgraded for ANOTHER 2 years! AND when i returned them, the warranty did not change. so thats a good thing with Shure. you can be damn shure you;ll have the headphones theoretically ur whole life lol. well theoretically until Shure goes bankrupt..
dunno if youre looking for more higher end buds but the sen cx 300s are pretty damn good. If youve got your heart set on the 500s i would get them.
I am not sure what price range you are looking in, but if you aren't wanting to spend a whole lot of money, I recommend SkullCandy.
I personally love my SkullCandy earbuds....better than any other pair I've owned.
If you care primarily about bass i can recommend the v-moda in ear phones.
If you want good sound all around. For cheap i would recommend the westone UM 1. Excellent noise cancellation with comply in ear tips and very comfortable.
For higher price the weston um 2 with dual drivers is excellent.
I highly recommend reading a few reviews on the westone in ear phones. The quality and sound are great and the comply foam tips are amazing at drowning out all the background sounds.
I got mine from www.earphonesolutions.com

Sennheiser, AKG.
If you want to o a bit cheaper, Skull Kandy are decent.
Earbuds are really bad for your ears. I suppose noise canceling buds are not as bad because theoretically you can have the volume lower. Mom advice aside, I'd say generally you can't go wrong with Sennheiser.

regarding cx500, i recently got those, for 20 dollars shipping included from ebay . They sound ok, but nothing spectacular and uncomfortable to wear because they plug inside the ear (but i cannot compare to other in ear earbuds bc these are my first ones like that). I like my new beyerdynamics 990dt much more tho ))).
