Headphones or Earbuds at $70

[CreepyBobo346]

I’m in the middle of choosing earbuds and came across a deal on Amazon and was wondering if there was anything better than these at the same price ($70).

My budget is low and can’t go past $80.
I listen to mostly electronic (not bass heavy, but more oriented towards mids and highs), and hip-hop (the typical modern mainstream hip-hop).
A microphone would be nice as I do use Skype and Discord often.
I use onboard sound (Realtek ALC1150).

For that price, I would highly recommend Audio Technica ATH-IM50s from Amazon.

It has the perfect blend of lows/mid/highs. Lows are not overpowering, but will compliment your hip-hop music very well.

It does not have a mic, so that could be a deterrent.

If you're looking for best bang for your buck in terms of sound quality, I would recommend these. But, if you need mic capabilities, then I believe the ones that you are looking at are going to be good. Klipsch makes good audio products so you can't go wrong with them.

From a non-audiophile perspective, I high recommend these:
https/www.amazon.com/Philips-SHP9500-Precision-Over-ear-Headphones/dp/B00ENMK1DW/
Philips SHP9500

They are over the ear (not on the ear, which I can't stand). They are moderately light. Very comfortable. They have a mesh earpad so your head won't sweat for extended wearing. We compared 4 in this price range and 2 that cost more and this was unanimous selection between the 7 which took part. The reviews on amazon are very good with lots of votes. 4.6 with 565 voting. They are just under 70.

I think I’ll go with the ones I found on Amazon, the deal is very good at they used to retail for $350 and I don’t want to miss out on such a good deal.
The microphone is also extremely useful for me as in-game communication is a must.
