So my $150 pair of Bose earbuds decided to break after a year (I’ll rant later) and I want to buy a new pair. But I want to buy one that’s high quality and has good sound quality. I have $100 to spend. What do you recommend?

Sorry, I told Scoob they were anal beads and he believed me.

Odd as it sounds, I’ve been very happy with the pair of Panasonics similar to these. Not sound canceling, but comfortable

My brother in law has had a pair of these Audio Technicas for 4-5 years now and loves them. I don’t spend more than 20 bucks on earbuds tho because I either brake or loose them https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ATEP3?adpos=1o1&creative=55678058761&device=m&matchtype=&network=g&product_id=ATEP3&gclid=Cj0KEQjwgODIBRCEqfv60eq65ogBEiQA0ZC5-SXTTjALSYEpsKYAJ8gkEnnGJoLY07yCyGsbyEGQ5UgaAofF8P8HAQ

I’ll swear by these till I die. Fantastic sound quality at the price point, but what really sets them apart is the level of comfort. Plus, available with or without an online mic, in ios or Android configurations and a ton of different color combos. If you register them, the warranty will fully cover replacements for the vast majority of issues you’d ever have

I’m on my 3rd. I know the pain. But yeah as long as you register them online.... Free replacements. Didn’t even have to pay shipping

Not sure if they have anything that fits the bill, but I hear a lot of people seem to like Sennheiser

They’re triple drivers, and sound amazingly good for its price. I’ve been buying Xiaomis for my last few sets of headphones.

Dude. Claim warranty.

I buy sennheisers because they all have a 2 year warranty and they always break within 2 years. I’m on my fourth pair.

Headphones always break. Get warrantied ones and it’s not your problem anymore.

I would also like to put my vote behind Audio Technicas. I’ve got a set that cost me $15 bucks, still sounds pretty damn good (though the little grilles that cover the drivers fell out after a few too many cleanings).

They’ve since been replaced by a set of Philips Fidelios, but those were a gift, and cost an order of magnitude more.
