Earphones spoil again. Previously bought Soundmagic is a total piece of thrash.

Need recommendation of earphones to get before IT show. Budget <$100 and even better if <$50. Hopefully reliable. Is Audio Technica still made in Japan, and any recommendations on model?

Thanks!!

Not sure if it will work with Sony smartphone but you can try the Fischer Audio Consonance with mic.

Not all Audio Technica are made in Japan now. Right now the ATH-IM50 is the hot selling model from them, perhaps you would like to give it a try and see if it suits your preference.

If I dont need headset with call answering functions / volume control, what would you recommend?

Well, the Westone UM Pro 10 is still a good option and there is the Shure SE215SPE and Audio-Technica ATH-IM01 and IM02 that you may compare against and see which suits your taste better.

Thanks. Any recommendation for $50 budget earphone from any brand?

Also what are some of the budget earphones with warranty? ATH-IM50 1-year warranty?

Hi, the 3 models differs quite a bit on size and sound signature and price. The Grado SR80i is one of our fav entry headphones but being open back they are not well suited for noisy and outdoor and while the the AKG K550 is closed back and isolate sound better, their size profile might not be as portable as the B&W P3. Perhaps if let us know more on your requirements, we can assist in recommending suitable models for your needs.

Thanks!

Rig - Desktop with external AMP/DAC.
Usage - Music primarily, some movies.
File Format - Generally Flac, Wav and mp3.
Genre - Varies, but mostly on Choral, Orchestra/Instrumental and Rock.

Well, to be fair, contextually he didn't mean '>' to be 'more than'.
