Can you recommend a few headphones/headsets that are $30 or cheaper and preferably won't break in the first month, thanks! :)

Closed headphones although i wouldn't mind headsets. These are just for use at home so I don't really care about the appearance factor :p

Thanks Carrotsticks and madharris :)

Don't get Beats headphones. I have the solo and they aren't worth it.

Does anyone have any suggestions for average priced earphones? The apple ones hurt my ears because they are too big, they are broken anyway :(

Tbh at 30 dollars you're just not going to find headphones which are both sturdy and have decent sound quality

The West Ones headphones are really comfortable.

If you aren't in a rush then wait for CatchoftheDay as they often have Sennheisers and other brands for cheap which will be better than your Apple buds.

I have the Solo HD and you can hear the difference between the two- I'm surprised you didn't spend that little bit more to get the HD. Whether they are worth the price is one thing, but I'm pretty happy with them.

Good shout. I bought a good pair of earbuds off CotD for $5.

But I am looking for actual stores that I can go to. Maybe I should start online shopping...

You get overcharged if you buy things like this from stores.
