Well i just bought a 50$ in ear headphone (Monster N-Lite) and one of the earphone is already broken (like after almost 2 months of use (45 days to be exact))... (inside not my fault lol) so does anyone have a good suggestion for a good in-ear headphone? its to use on my samsung note 3 so dont link one that isnt compatible with it... i can afford a 100$ one with or without mic isnt a big deal ^^
PS: dunno if im in the right topic btw....

dunno on cost for you, but Shure SE315 are one of the best I have tried. Outstanding quality and clarity, check out reviews and you will see alot of positivity on these. I love that I can detach the ear pieces and swap the cables out for either one with inline remote for everyday use, or a more rugged cable for when im out mountain biking. You can literally put these in the washing machine and they can still work 100% as before, once you put them in the sun to dry out ;)... yes I made that mistake.

Also the SE315 are kinda designed for pushing the limits on volume.

If thats above your budget the SE215 should also be good for you and are much cheaper.

I've been using SoundMagic E10S for about a year now without any issues.

Great quality, sort of braided cord; doesnt tangle in cover or pockets. integrated control, looks good. comes with a nice case and accessories. Bass is a bit on a weaker side imo but is still fine for DNB/electronical music that I favour, nice and loud when you need it to be. £40 is a good price for the product.
 
I'm currently using one of Nokia's/Coloud's pop in ears. Really cheap, really tight lows, good mids, nice highs. I bought them for 20Euros I have them for more than a year still rocking solid. I'm impressed for the price
 
I've used the

Soundmagic E10m's
Klipsch S4i's
Shure SE215
Rubbish Beats things (got them for free)

And in my personal opinion, the S4i (iphone) or S4a (android) give the best value for money, sub £100 do the job, sound gorgeous and built very well, and are comfortable, i didnt have to buy additional tips to suit me.

SE215 on the other hand are in a league of there own! They sound sublime, few tweaks on the equaliser and you'll think ever song you listen to is brand new. Build quality is a 10, everything is very robust and they feel solid! They come with memory foam tips which are awesome 99% sound isolation in my case, wouldn't be able to hear a tree fall in the woods if i was standing next to it.

I know right!! I loved them so much I wanted more and got the SE315 and the sound upgrade was yet again unbelievable. I'm tempted now to go for the 535 but that is getting to crazy prices for in ear phones.
 
Yeah I have to agree with Kambo. I bought the Klipsch S3 a while back for €30 and they give €50 earphones a run for the money, so price/performance wise Klipsch are very good.

If you want the best you can afford though, I think the Shures will be right up your ally. As a bonus most of their models have detachable cables so when one breaks you just replace the cable and don't have to bin the entire thing :)

those look realy interesting but i dunno if the se315 is worth it.... i always have my volume like at 60~80% high lol..... and does both of them come with the cable that have the mic and volume control? cuz i see they sell them separately
PS: I think maybe ill get the 215 still dunno if the 315 is realy better lol if i keep using them at high volume for music

315 is better for sure, but it depends how much of an audiophile you are. For many the 215 is enough and are much cheaper. The supplied cable is without inline remote. but is pretty high quality and durable. I bought the remote cable separate.

Best thing is just check reviews and get a good idea.
 
I don't know about you, but I go through 5 or so sets a year when riding the bike.. I've found the Sennheiser CX 300 II are great all rounders while being affordable enough to replace (£25 - £30) should they break and excellent quality audio, nice tones and deep bass.

What do you do eat them??

I use mine for 2 hours a day everyday and they hold up fine!

I really need to get an arm band for my phone or a handlebar mount, they get tugged or the plug gets bent around in my pocket.. by riding I mean "RIDING" none of this road riding nonsense, I hit the trails and pretty hard too. ;)

Try to loop the beginning of your earphone wire back to your phone and tape it to the back of that. Prevents tugging on the actual connector.

Ha ha sorry dude, should have been clearer, the buds get tugged at (under shirt, and helmet snagging), the plug gets bent around.
