What are my options on headphones? I want really good quality headphones that are under $20.

I'm looking for headphones because the iAudio X5L's headphones are really bad I heard, and I was told that I should get a new one.

I want the kind of headphones that stick right in my ear like the iPod Nano headphones that come with it or the Sennheiser MX-400.

Someone suggested for me to buy a Sennheiser MX-400. What're your thoughts?

Thanks.

If youre gona be blasting your music a lot, you do not want iPod headphones, they will blow easily and piss you the hell off..
I just bought some Sonys for $20 and they are ok.
Look for some good Sonys, If not those.. Get the Senneheisers

I got myself some Sony turbo boosters, really good if you want loud music. iPod's earphones weren't loud at all!

I love the Koss earbuds.

Great bass, amazing volume, and they don't fall out. I had to keep the volume on my iPod relatively low because of how loud they were. (Relatively low compared to the volume I had to use with the iPod earbuds at least.) I think it's worth it just for the bass, the iPod ones have pretty horrible bass.

i wouldn't spend less than about US$100 on 'phones, but sennheiser or koss will see you good. remember that you get what you pay for. go into a hi-fi shop, have a listen.
