Best, LASTING iPhone Headphones?

Looking to replace the packaged Apple headphones with a new, [much?] better set. I need something that will last, not like the Vibe Duos that break after a month or two. Anyone have any experience with good iPhone headphones? Recommendations? Let me know Thanks.

Break how? Did you get a replacement under warranty? If not did they consider it damage you did?

Thanks for the rec., but I'm looking for something high quality - $50-100+ range~, not a replacement (should've changed my wording), but an 'improvement'..or step-up lol.

I just said this in another thread, and I'll repeat it here. You don't need to spend $50 - $100 to "step up" or "upgrade". Click the image to open in full size.

Read my review of the Skullcandy Smokin' Buds + eBay headphone adapter:

Skullcandy Smokin' Buds + eBay headphone adapter

No need to trim them; just get the adapter I reviewed, which is a whopping ~$4 or so, and comes in very handy. Or buy the set of 3 for $8 or so, which comes with the adapter, travel charger, and car charger (all in my review.)

No need to get the V-Moda's or other overpriced headphones; IMHO, they feel exactly the same when wearing them, and frankly, don't sound any better than the Skullcandy Smokin' Buds - which cost $60% - 80% less. Click the image to open in full size.

Besides, at $20 for the Skullcandy headphones, how can you go wrong trying them? Click the image to open in full size.

Yep, for $30 for all that, how can you go wrong? Worst case scenario, the Skullcandy headphones are a good backup for a more expensive set or something.

I also picked up the Griffin iTrip (black) today. Almost forgot they went on sale last Saturday @ Staples for $9.99. Went to Circuit City ($54.99 in-store price) and had them do their 110% price match guarantee. Final price:

$54.99 - $49.50 (110% PM) = $5.49 + tax (7% FL, $0.38) = $5.87 out the door.

I picked up three from Circuit City...gonna return the one I got from Staples (paid the $9.99 + tax for it...the Circuit City 110% PM makes it half that price!) Unless someone from here wants it. Just pay the price I paid and s/h to you, otherwise it's getting returned tomorrow.
