1. SONY White EX Earbud Style Headphones - $49.99

Featuring high-sensitivity 9mm driver units for a wider acoustical range and an angled shape that's more comfortable in the ear, these MDR-EX75 EX earbud headphones deliver robust sound in an innovative design.

3. KOSS Keb/24 - $24.99

The KEB/24 is lightweight with an in-the-ear design for deep bass and listening to music on the go.

A flexible strain relief has been added for comfort.

4. SHURE SCL2 Sound Isolating - $110.00
