Why You Can't Get Decent Earphones for Less Than $100

I have some that came with my sony mp3 player, with noise cancellation......that really kick BUTT! I think they were $50 for the player (4gb) and buds, about 3 years ago....bought from woot.com
 
I hate anything that "attaches" me to my rig.
It's too easy for me to forget and try to walk away with the darn things still stuck in my ears! I still use the same
"broke-a-pair-of-headphones-and-threw-away-everything-but-ONE-of-the-earcups" piece
same idea tho, cheap but effective

Sometimes -- sometimes not...

Practically speaking, many times I've found you get what you pay for, but there have been times when that didn't hold true...

For example, some companies are notorious for charging excessively high prices because of the branding of their name. Think Lexus vs Toyota, or Cadillac vs Chevy. Same thing inside, different branding on the outside.

A lot depends on the marketing dept. -- whether they can sell you on the additional cost for a name, or even very slightly better components than their lower priced competition...


BTW, I don't use the ear bud things -- I have speakers :)
