what are a good pair of headphones under $50? (if you could include brand model price and where to purchase) I'm in the market for earbuds and over the ear kind needs to be ipod/iphone 3gs compatible w/ a mic would be cool too not a must have though.
Answer
The Monster Jamz Headphones have basically been designed to address the economy range of the headphone market, and if you simply want the best then you can explore their gold or copper series of In-Ear Speakers. However, for the price, these headphones do provide a really tight bass along with distortion-free mid-range and highs. The bass is such that your head does not feel that it will explode while the mids and highs complement the overall sound in a slightly mild-mannered but really clear way. The sound emancipating from these headphones provides decent depth without sounding flat or harsh. However, although you will receive multiple sized ear-tips that are quite comfortable, you will need to improvise in case the ear-tips do not fit comfortably in your ears or do not manage to seal outside sound in an efficient manner.

Best headphones around 50?

I'm looking to replace my slowly denigrating headphones, these are the pair i have currently (one side snapped off)
http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=11037408#reviews
I love them, but I'm wondering if i can get something even better,
my top 3 preferred characteristics for a pair of headphones are:
-comfort
-quality
-durability
any suggestions have to be able to beat my current pair or I'll end up buying a replacement and note that usually am traveling with my headphones (walking to school etc) thank you! :3
(since i cant comment on answers) I've heard a lot about Skull candy costing a lot and being rather fragile. How true is that?
Answer
Those Sony's are notorious for ... not lasting very long.
Skullcandy are the joke of the headphone world. I've tried many pairs, only brave enough to own one pair, and they are garbage ... not only in terms of sound, but the build quality is a disgrace!

For around $50 the only headphones I can suggest are the following:
Grado iGrado: Still one of my all time favorite portable headphones. fast and quite deep sound (considering the size).
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=akg+headphones&x=0&y=0#/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=igrado&rh=n%3A172282%2Ck%3Aigrado
Sennheiser HD238: One of the best deals at the moment is on the Sennheiser HD238 headphones. Buy only from J&R or World Wide Stereo because they are authorized Sennheiser dealers and there are fake HD238's on the market. in terms of performance, they a serious step up from the iGrado's.
Denon AH-D310: I had the old AH-D301 version and they were o.k. new new AH-D310 should be one of the most comfortable headphones on the market.

for $50 that's about all i can think of. good luck and stay away from Skullcandy!
