So I bought some Skullcandy Titan earbuds a little while ago, on sale for $20. (They normally go for $40.)

I’m very satisfied with them, especially because the only earbuds I had were the iPod ones, which are basically terrible. I have a pair of headphones that I’m pretty satisfied with, but lately they’ve been sitting on my keyboard, and I’ve been using the earbuds for my computer and iPod.

(Yesterday I also bought a pair of cheapo speakers at the IU surplus warehouse for $10. They’re okay; the sound isn’t very clear, but they’re not for music anyway.)

Anyway, some people have asked me what I think of the earbuds. Since MS Paint is worth a thousand words, here’s my review:

They’re pretty much as good as my headphones, which is an accomplishment for cheap-ish earbuds, which are typically quite lousy. At any rate, I do recommend them, assuming you’re interested in buying earbuds for less than $100. According to the Internet, Skullcandy’s cheaper earbuds aren’t as good as the Titans, but I haven’t tried any others. In audio equipment, though, more money does translate into better sound (up to a certain point) so I wouldn’t try skimping.
