The Bose in-ear headphones won't be for everyone, but if you feel like your current earbuds or IEMs are lacking a little in the bass department, then they may be right up your alley.

Creative's HN-605 headphones are a low cost entry into the noise-cancelling headphone market. They don't do anything extraordinary and users looking for top quality audio will be disappointed, but aside from that they do a reasonable job.

Creative’s EP-830 in-ear headphones are a great option if you need decent sound quality as well as noise isolation. The headphone cable can cause a bit of discomfort if it's not secured, but these are decent quality in-ear buds.

Creative's Aurvana in-ear headphones aren't the best headphones you'll ever hear, particularly if you listen to guitar driven tunes, but nonetheless they provide a comfortable and reasonable sounding alternative to your iPod ear buds.

Audiophiles won't be impressed, but if you're after a solid upgrade to your regular iPod headphones, then the GrooveAtomic is an ideal, low-cost choice.

The GrooveStyle aren't the best sounding headphones by a long shot, but their stylish design means they are a slight upgrade on many of the standard ear buds packaged with portable music players.

These headphones aren't outstanding but they offer reasonable sound for a fairly low asking price and the included accessories are a nice touch.

As a budget pair of earbuds with excellent sound, the Bassbudz are an excellent choice for fans of truly powerful bass.

Quite simply an excellent pair of earphones that provide outstanding sound clarity, the ER6i’s are a must have for any MP3 owner wishing to get the best out of their music player.

The Klipsch X5s are some very solid IEMs. The tiny design makes them exceptionally comfortable and the sound quality is excellent, all things considered.

Simply put, everyone who likes music and only owns cheap headphones (<$100) owes it to themselves to buy these and experience the difference.

The sound quality is quite good, but the Plug feels flimsy and doesn’t do the greatest job in regards to noise cancellation.
