After I was skyping my girlfriend, I realized that I had thrown one of my Apple headphone earbuds into a glass of water.  I was astounded at myself and how I could let such a stupid thing happen, what the fuck.  Anyways, they still work, but the sound is not as loud in the earbud I submerged in water, so I will need to get a new pair.  I don't want to go back to Apple earbuds because I have now gone through about three pairs.   
  
I want to know if any of you Giant Bombers have any recommendations for good, cheap earbuds.  I don't want any of the in-ear, sound canceling ones.  Also, the more inexpensive the better.  I'm willing to drop about $20.  Any thoughts?

sony wireless bluetooth buds, 79bucks, but  awesome

I've been happy with Skullcandy's earbuds for a while now, but they're all pretty much "in-ear," and do cancel a lot of sound. They are pretty inexpensive, though, but any decent pair over ten or twenty bucks will cancel some sound. I used the Apple earbuds once or twice and hated them - not only were they uncomfortable, I could barely hear my music when in a crowded place and had to turn it up. If you really want some cheap earphones that don't cancel any sound or fit snug in your ear, go to your local dollar store and look around. Just know that they probably won't last as long as the Apple ones.

wow wtf you ruined the earbuds I gave you??? you are a bugger.
