For under $40, I'd go with these: http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-Precision-Enhanced-Earbuds-Black/dp/B001EZYMF4/ref=pd_bxgy_e_text_y

I own a pair that I use when I work out and their sound is very nice for the price. Only problem is that Sennheiser had the genius idea of making the split part of the cable asymmetrical, so one part is longer than the other. But that's only a big deal if you use them for running, where it gets REALLY annoying.

Also, Amazon bumped up the price $10 from what they were when I bought them a few months ago. Probably can find a better deal on another site(you usually do with headphones)

The reason of the asymmetrical cable is for you to wrap the longer one around the back of your neck so when you take them out they hang around your neck and dont just flop way down.  It's an alrighttttt thing but yea I would rather just have had standard cable :P

Those incidentally were my first non-stock earbuds.  Just keep moving on up ;)

I really look forward to playing Super Mario 3D World

You should; it's easily the greatest Mario game since Super Mario Galaxy 2 a few years ago.

Yea i no. That's what I do, but it's still really annoying compared to regular cables. I'm probably get the ie4's once these give out/I get bored and want to buy something.

I've heard very good things about these: http://www.amazon.com/HiFiMAN-RE400-HIFIMAN-RE-400-HEADPHONES/dp/B00AWLEAH6

Though I'm not really sure what I would go to next since I'm pretty sure my Shures are going to last a longggg time since the cable is replaceable (and warranty covered!)

It sucks to be me.

It sucks to be single, unemployed, and almost 33.

I love Avenue Q. Even though I'm not 33. But broke, unemployed,  and turning 15...

So I needed to go shopping to make my food for the week.

And so I go to Trader Joes to get the stuff I need. Of those things I get garlic.

I live 30 miles away from the garlic capital of the world (Gilroy) and the garlic I got was from Argentina (6000 miles away)!!

I should've gone to Costco and got the 5lb bag of peeled garlic from Gilry for $6 instead of spending $2.50 on this crap and spending 45 minutes peeling garlic

It didn't take you 45min to peel 2 heads of garlic did you ._.

Perhaps you need to refine your technique... try cutting the ends off first, or putting the cloves in an closed container and shaking it up.

Could be mutant alien radioactive slime garlic. Those can be tricky to peel.

Nope. I peeled 6 heads. I could have also been adding the time to peel ginger too.

Usually I cut off the ends and then I peel and the skin separates easily, but this stuff you had to really go at it to get all the skin off.
