    As my current ones are pretty broken (sound only play from one of the earbuds) I've decided that I need new ones. The ones that I'm using right now aren't really they best either, they're ok I'd say and I only use my earbuds from school to home and vice versa.

    The problem is that I have no idea what earbuds to get, and although I've googled it a few times, I'd still prefer to hear from people here, too. I'm not going to pay a huge amount of money for them, but perhaps around 20-40€.

    What things that I'd like them to have is:
    • Noise reduction (as buses are quite noisy, it's important that it can filter it out)
    • Decent/good bass (but not too much)
    • They have to fit well and be comfortable at the same time
    • A wire (not interested in wireless earbuds)
    • No sound leak (I don't want others to know what I'm listening to...)

    Thank you :slight_smile:

    I have a pair of Klipsch R6i that I really like, though they are outside your price range. If you look around you should be able to find a pair of S6 is your price range. I had a pair of those and they were great. The only reason I bought the R6i is that my pair of S6i were stolen.

    I usually use skull candy. They are not that pricey and that fit the list of your requirements ( at least to me.) They have cool designs and different buds sizes so you won't have to worry too much about size.

    Here's a link to a pair if you wanna check them out.

    Shop Wink'd Women's Earbuds - Free Shipping | Skullcandy

    Disclaimer: I do not work for them and this isn't an advertisement lol.

    Don't buy earbuds, you're wasting your money. Buy yourself some nice on ear or over ear Beyerdynamics or Sennheisers, you'll never look back.

    Is headphones completely out of the question?
    If not, get some Beats by Dre. I got Solo2, and they're great.
    Comfortable, doesn't annoy others, and they warm your ears a little hehe.
    And affordable imo. 750 nok.

    Isn't Beats by Dre the brand that makes products that are made to break? I'd rather buy a completely unknown brand with good overall quality, than a popular one which products break when you drop them 1 time...

    My current headphones are finally breaking down after years of usage though, so I'll have to look for a new pair soon.
