Ah yes its hard to build quality headphones for that little.
in that price range I'd buy some chifi IEMs like the zero:2 or chu II
How much for quality headphones then? Especially like earbuds with the sports clip that loops on the ear so they don't fall out, to be able to use for work and running and such? If it lasts I will pay more. The more expensive stuff I've bought has broken as soon as the cheaper stuff.
It'll be around $15-30 for some decent sounding KZ or CCA IEMs depending on the sound you want. Big fan of CCA CRA+ personally, but I use 7hz Zero 2s now and they're a bit more ($40?)
