TDK's EB-400 earphones are some of the cheapest canalphones available, and they're a good upgrade from the standard earbuds of many MP3 players despite a few problems.

TDK's NC-100 headphones offer a convenient portable profile, but their pleasant sound is hampered by poor noise cancelling.

A decent pair of earphones, but they are a tad expensive.

The iCans are not a bad set of headphones by any means and the portability factor is important to consider, but for this price, we’d steer clear of the iCans.

They don’t sound the best, but if you’re after great bass, then the FS1s are in your ball park.

Sony’s MDRAS100W headphones are marketed as 'Sports Active', but we found them too uncomfortable to wear for anything more than short bursts. Sound quality is good and they block out a lot of background noise, but make sure you try them on before committing to a pair.

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

A decent IEM choice, but we’d recommend the Etymotic or Shure entry level models over the UM1 if you’re looking in this price bracket.

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.

If you are a fan of flamboyant music accessories and want some headphones with above average sound quality, the Skullcandy Ti may be for you.

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

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.
