    My advice is check out the specs. If they don't list the range don't buy them they could be garbage. Most expensive buds are not very good. Try Philips or Koss. They are very cheap and very good but no fancy adds.

    I noticed you were a member so I will give you the dollar tour instead of the 50 cent tour.

    I bought my Koss plugs for $7 on ebay they have lasted over a year and I have banged them plenty. They came with extra soft parts. The wires will be what gives way just because the copper work hardens. I didn't find any buds over $100 that were as good. The Philips has 5 hz better base. That is a fairly big deal, however more base requires more power. The guy that bought them got a booster amp.
