Rating: 10/10
Pros: Incredibly affordable. Amazing sound for 20 dollars Incredibly well built and looks really sleek.
Cons: None
Overall: This is, by far, the best value headphone at 20 dollars. You get fantastic build quality and sound that is heard at some headphones around 100 dollars. The sound for the price is absolutely phenomenal and as a result, merits the Editor’s Choice Award.

CustomBuds Earphones Version 2

Rating: 9 out of 10
Pros: Completely customizable low priced earphones
Cons: None
Overall: CustomBuds have really stepped up their game in improving their original earphones. I have to say that the first version of these earphones were torture to test out because the audio was so muffled and bad, but CustomBuds didn’t just sit on their laurels. They updated the drivers in the earphones and now they sound great. I think for the price that they are a great buy, especially when you’re able to pick out the colors of every part of the earphones.

If you’re interested in purchasing the CustomBuds for $30, you can do so on their website.
Stay Tuned for a Give-Away with two winners getting their own pair of CustomBuds.

SOL Replublic Tracks headphones

Overall: 9 out of 10
Pros: Great build and sound quality.
Cons: Not the easiest to travel with.
Rating: It’s very rare when I feel that a pair of $99 headphones are worth every penny, but that’s the case with the Tracks from SOL Republic. Not only have they come up with a great sounding pair of headphones, but they’ve also made sure that the materials and quality of the overall product are high. I’d definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for an on-ear solution instead of ear buds or over-ear can headphones. I enjoyed them so much that I’ve awarded them our Editors’ Choice Award.

You can purchase them for $99 from retailers like Best Buy or from SOLRepublic.com.

JLab Go In-Ear Headphones

Overall: 5/10
Pros: Really awesome idea. Waterproof in-ear headphones plus MP3 player for under 100 dollars.
Cons: Feels awkward to wear. Uncomfortable. Sound is subpar. Bad highs and mids and bass is slow and laggish.
Rating: In theory, this could be an awesome product. While the idea of a built in MP3 player to your headphones is great, the sound is really sub par and the headphones are really awkward and feel uncomfortable to wear. While the idea is amazing, JLab needs to go back to the drawing board and think about comfort and getting better quality drivers. You can check them out on JLab’s website.

NoiseHush NX80 Earphones

Rating: 8 out of 10
Pros: Low price tag, includes soft pouch
Cons: The cord feels similar to a rubber band
Overall: This is a great alternative to the Apple earphones that are included with your iDevice. For only $17, you get a pair of solid earphones with descent sound quality made from solid materials.

You can purchase this product from WirelessGround.com for $16.95.

Scosche IEM856m Earphones

Rating: 8 out of 10
Pros: Excellent sound quality, includes many extras
Cons: High price tag
Overall: This set of In Ear Monitors from Scosche definitely surprised me when it came to sound quality, they had thumping bass, solid mids and precise highs – perfect for all genres of music. But from their actual construction, they didn’t seem like $250 earphones. I’ve reviewed earphones ranging from $200 all the way up to $400, so I have an idea of what expensive earphones should feel like and the materials that they use. Even though these earphones were very solid and not cheap feeling, I just thought Scosche could have upgraded the materials used to make them. They basically feel like most of their other consumer earphones except with awesome sound quality.

You can purchase this product from Scosche for $249.99.

SteelSeries 7H Gaming Headset

Rating: 10 of 10
Pros: Extremely lightweight and compact and the sound it puts out is incredible.  Also one of the most comfortable headsets I have ever tried.
Cons: None
Overall: SteelSeries is known for their excellent quality gaming products.  Today I reviewed the SteelSeries 7H over ear gaming headphones for the iPhone/iPod/iPad.  It is truly an amazing product offering you extreme comfort since it is lightweight and padded just right.  Aside from being comfortable the sound quality from the unit is incredible with its 50 MM drivers allowing you to engulf yourself in the game.  They are also portable and break down for easy storage.  Aside from using them for a better and up close gaming session they also work to answer phone calls as well as enjoying your favorite music.  The SteelSeries 7H headphones are available for purchase on their website for only $129.99.  Drop us a comment with your thoughts and if you own a set what do you think of them?

SOL Republic Tracks On-Ear Headphones

Rating: 8.5/10
Pros: Interchangeable drivers for headphones. Nearly indestructible. Really unique, eye catching look. Really versatile sound. Solid bass, mids and highs. As good, if not better than Beats by Dre Solos and Solo HD’s for much cheaper.
Cons: Sound could be more distinct. Music mushes together a bit.
Overall: SOL Republic is the new player in the headphone game and their first on-ear models is a great entry into the competition. The headphones provide very solid sound for only 100 dollars. The headphones have a unique, distinctive look and are eye catching. The sound is really quite solid for the “fashion headphone” genre and for being only 100 dollars. You can check them out at their website.
