Best Earbuds Reviewed and Ranked
Jun 2, 2009
After so many requests we finally took on the task of reviewing and ranking the best earbuds under $100.
We tried more than 2 dozen ear bud models and after listening to them while outdoors, just casually chilling, we ranked the best for comfort, fit, isolation, overall sound quality, build material, manufacturers’ warranty and most importantly, value.
We really enjoyed the new Sennheiser CX400-II (beware of counterfeits on Ebay and Amazon resellers), the Denon AH-C252 (which sells for less than $30) and the new Shure SE115.
These earbuds are an excellent choice for sport as well but what they all have in common is that they are a great value and are a big step up from the Apple stock ear buds.
The bass on the CX380 was a big surprise from an earbud in this price range.
The “orange” earbuds series by Sennheiser are sweat proof and there is a different design for every taste.
If orange is not your color, the just released Denon AH-C452K is unbeatable for under $70.
