I got Beats Solo for Christmas, but unfortunately I don't enjoy using them. I prefer headphones that are light and mobile, but don't want to buy $5 headphones anymore. I'll be using it for skype, fitness, and gaming.
Budget: $30
Music Preference: rap, indie, electro. definitely not dubstep
Form Factor (Type): in ear
Open-backed or close-backed (not for IEMs):
Source (MP3 player/desktop/etc): macbook & iphone
What's above everything else?: at $30 or under; broke college life  |
Your cheapest option; I haven't heard if these sound similar to the original M9 but the second edition of them looks very promising at their price point:

And then at the max of your budget, there's this, which is one of the most popular entry-level in-ears among the community. Definitely what I'd recommend the most:

Could probably find it at $30 or cheaper on eBay:

And then like corno said there's always the Senn CX300 or CX250 out there too.
