Best earbuds under $20
Does this beast exist? The headphones that came with the Zune are OK at best, but I really don't want to spend a ton of money on headphones. I think I would prefer earbuds because they are more comfortable for me. So, anyone got any suggestions?

Gotta ask yourself... how long are you going to be listening to it? If it's more than a few minutes a day, I suggest you sink some money into it.
Me for instance, I listen to...
car - 30 mins a day tops
home stereo - 1-2 hours tops
headphones - 4-8 hours
Yet my car is the most expensive, followed by my home, and my headphones. Seems kinda silly!
That's why I decided to put a bit of cash into headphones, and i'm glad I did. Since it's strapped to your head the acoustical environment is completely controlled, so you can get much better SQ for very little money.
For example, if you don't mind open headphones, a set of Grado SR60's would kick serious ass. If you want sealed, something like the Sennheiser HD280's would be a great start. I personally went balls-out and got Beyerdynamic DT770's with an amp. Or if you want in-ears, check out Etymotic or similar. I love my ER6i's, especially on flights where the 23dB noise attenuation comes in VERY handy.
Headphone.com has great reviews on all of their stuff, so i'm sure you can find something to fit your tastes and wallet there.
