I was wondering if any of you have any recommendation for headphones under $60 CDN. In particular, I like those in-ear type ones - I got a cheap 20 dollar one from a friend a while back, and its not bad.

If possible, please keep it to the ones that are usually available at retail stores - I didn't exactly have the greatest experience with e-bay. :?

Ohhh btw, if it matters, I have the Glacier. Had it for almost two weeks - still alive and kicking!
Congratulations! You may have a new record. Well no, I wouldnt advise $5 MX400's on a budget of $60. Headphones will sound better than buds at any given price point, but buds are more practical and make less outside noise. So for buds at the moment, I'm quite fond of the idea of the OVC T25's, which I ordered and should be getting any day now. They have been compared favorably to V-Moda Vibes, which retail at $99US. They are cheap at less than 1/3 that price, but there are only a few left available from one eBay retailer. There are a number of other good choices but mostly not available in Canada, especially at under $60. If you insist on buying locally and can find Sennheiser CX300's in your budget (on sale perhaps), then it'd be hard to do worse. Other possible alterantives are: Panasonic HJE-50, or JVC Marshmallows (FX33), which are like $25 at Future Shop, and considered a budget favorite.
