I recently purchased some CCA CRAs and after trying every earbud on the market these are some of the greatest I've had so far. The quality for the price is well worth every cent and they sound spectacular! Wish I had known about these before wasting so much on Skullcandy and Sony buds.

I bought Skullcandy Ink buds primarily because I like ~bass~

I found an old set of the "flat pasta noodle wire" type Inks when I was helping a friend clean out his garage, I was like "These look interesting, can I have em?" And he was like "Sure, go ahead" so I took them home and I used them.

It was my first time ever hearing that particular brand of buds.

Soooo much frigging bass, it was a surprise to me. But dear Lord were they FRAGILE. The flat style cables were prone to breaking, so your stereo buds would quickly become mono.

I would go on Ebay and buy new ones, and every time they would last me a month, tops. Then I found the Ink Plus, which is a revised model with proper ROUND cables, not Flat Pasta Noodles.

I bought multiple pairs with the expectation that these would ~also~ be prone to cable tear, but to my surprise they haven't "gone mono" on me yet.

I have 4 pairs. I take good care of them, I try not to drop whatever I've got them plugged into (hard sudden tugs aren't great for cables, or my ears ~ OWWWW).

I like them. They might not impress hardcore Audiophiles who are used to more costly options, but for me it's satisfactory. I just like the bass. It's nice and thumpy, which is great for Hip Hop.

Also, if you want a nice cheap pair of Over Ear Cup Headphones, try One Odio A71. Those are pretty nice. They aren't gunna be as fancy as Sennheisers or whatever, but it's satisfactory for my tastes. I tried the silver and brown Blue Tooth model and it was a little too "Bright" for me, the regular wired A71 has a much warmer, subdued sound.
