I'm often pumped for suggestions of cheap, great-sounding earphones, and I'm sorry to report that there just aren't many. Typically, inexpensive earphones don't sound good. What they can do, however, is fit better and sound better than the abysmal earbuds that come bundled with every iPod. Griffin's TuneBuds don't offer much low end and sound a bit tinny, but they create a tight seal in the ear. This allows for some passive noise isolation and, at higher volumes, the illusion of more bass. If you're not an audiophile and are tough on your stuff—say, you've broken every pair of earphones you've ever owned—the TuneBuds (which are priced at either $20 or $30 depending on what color you buy) might work for you.
