I would check out the new Ultimate Ears Metro.fi series, it just came out 2 weeks ago, they start at $29. The are basic earphones, another options are the JAYS d-JAYS, we have them on sale for $79 from $99. My only concern with them is that warranty might be in issue if you think they are going to break since they are from Sweeden, same goes with the j-JAYS for $39. UE has great customer service so if anything go wrong with them they will fix or send out a new pair for you.

If you can stretch the budget, the UE super.fi 3's are also a great option, they will sound better then the metro.fi series, those are $78. All prices are before the TS discount.

 

Are you sure it's your headphones? Losing one channel due to a bad jack or bad circuit board connection seems to be a fairly common problem on Ipods. There are a few posts on ilounge about this, and some possible fixes.

 

Just wanted to mention that I ended up getting EU Super.Fi 3's from MichaelM and he has fantastic customer service, products, prices, and FAST shipping.

VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER! And the Earbud's are great!!!

Cheers!
