Only earbud headphones worth the $
Response of 10-20,000 Hz. Better range than most larger diaphram headphones (not including cans). Bass sounds awesome. Mids are a bit muddy, but I still need to jiggle the EQ on my MP3 player. I wish it was bit lower impedence for other portable audio devices... Anyway, FYI.
The one's in the link below seem pretty close to the ones I bought yesterday. The ones I bought say RadioShack on the bud and the jack says KOSS. KOSS has been coming out with some pretty neat stuff lately.

Here's a link to KOSS' version of the product, more tech info:

I used to be an assistant manager for a RadioShack. Those are very very nice headphones and well worth the money. I will warn you however, that the copper inside the wire has been know to frey right near the earbuds. The headphones will look just fine but you will get a crackling sound from time to time. I would reccomend opting for the $2 warranty (if that's still what it costs now) because if you get that problem, you local RadioShack will just give you a brand new set.
