What do you guys recommend for travel/casual everyday use? My budget is $100 and under. Thanks for any help.

I bought some of these a year ago. Definitly cheaper now but the fact that the cords for the earpieces are not even, ie...you wear it to the left or right, was rather annoying. Also the cheap hinge on the case wears out fast causing the cover to not stay on. Suggest Shure E2c's or even Apple's upgraded ear buds.

Better storage and similar sound to the Sony set.

it's too bad your budget is $100 because my buddy has a $300 pair of bose headphones that sound magnificent

Great for portability and the quality at that price is great.
Either that or the Etymotic ER6i's

I picked up a pair of these. The left side crapped out after about 25 minutes of use; never worked again.

I have a pair - soundwise they are quite good and I am approaching 9 months of use with them and I am hard on earphones
but good god, whoeever designed them with a primary cord thats too short and an extension cord thats waaayy too long should be shot

I bought a pair of the Shure E2c to use with my Xm2Go while riding my cycle. I love them and they fit nicely under my helmet and sound great.

Do some browsing in www.head-fi.org. (http://www.head-fi.org.) You'll find a shit load of info and reviews in there. I would also suggest maybe saving up some more money for a month or so and springing for some Shure E4Cs, Ety ER4Ps, or Ultimate Ears SuperFi Pro5s. All of them are the plug style which seals up the ear and isolates outside noise. Good thing about that is you don't have to turn them up as much in louder environments which will save your hearing in the long run. I have the Super Fis and am very pleased with them.

how considerate of you!

I'm appalled a Mascis fan would post something so Fukufuji-esque.

Why didn't you send them back and get another pair?
Mine lasted for a year of heavy use till Lulu trod on them.
Oh and I am sure cars and the like give jmascis and his a helmet a wide berth: <img src="http://www.sandcastles-toys.com/images/hat-acchil.jpg" alt=" - " />
