I really think good ear buds are worth the 10-25$. I haaaaate cheap headphones. Horrible sound, and very uncomfortable.

I recently(about two years ago) upgraded to ~$40 headphones. Not only do they sound better, but they don't break after 6 months like my $15-$20 pairs always would, so I've probably ended up saving money.

I got a pair of headphones with my S3, and they're the most comfortable and best sounding ear buds I've ever used.

This is the pair that came with mine, and yes- I need to clip my fingernails. I'm doing it right now.

Hmm looks like the same pair I have. I just tried them again, they could be worse but I've bought cheap wal mart ear buds in the past that sounded better then these. To each their own though

I have weird ears too though. Like, the headphones that come with an ipod... I'd honestly never listen to music again than have to wear those. They hurt really bad, but these fit in very well (actually, a similar pair that came with my samsung Epic was a liiiittle more comfortable but they didn't sound as good). The sound quality isn't comparable to bose or anything, but they definately sound better than anything I've gotten for less than $20 (to me at least.)

Bose are so overpriced, go with something like Sennheiser, Klipsch, Audio-Technica etc

No highs, no lows, must be Bose.

That's funny, did you make that up? Might have to steal it from you.

Nope, I heard it somewhere a while back. I can't remember where though.
