Yuin are widely considered to make some of the best earbuds money can buy you. Yuin PK3 is their entry model, and for $35-$36 delivered it's a steal (next cheapest is probably $49 from Headphones.com.au).
If you're unconvinced, go check out some reviews at Amazon or Head-fi!

I despise sites that require you to sign up just to see the item…
They also have the background picture set to stretch to the display size and it's a pixelated mess on a 27" 2560x1440 monitor.
who browses full screen on such high res..
It's noticeable in the usual 1/3rd width window size and I was pointing out the dev flaw of not having scaling boundaries set.
By the looks of their shipping system, the chances of receiving these before christmas is slim to none.

Available for $34.59 from this guy on eBay, bought some from him for that price almost 2 years ago:

Seems to always have them available. I personally didn't like them much - sound great but don't sit comfortably for me. He also has the PK2s for around $56 delivered.
That looks like a $2 pair of earbuds from reject shop, sorry!!!
Looks does not equate to sound when it comes to headphones!
I'd recommend keeping an eye on this site because they had a sale on great Sennheiser ear buds just yesterday. I got a pair of MX980s from them a month or two ago for $69, and they are about as good as PK1s. http://www.oo.com.au/Headphones-Headsets_C348.cfm?sort=Disco…
I had a pair of PK2s and the sound was good, but unfortunately I wasn't too impressed with the build quality (the cables particularly are known for breaking easily).
you're right, they dont. But I expect the look and feel of a product reflects its cost. If you pay $100 for a earbuds, you'd expect them to look $100 worth.
I'm just saying that looks like a $2 earbuds. I'm sure it'll sound good if all the reviews say so.
Yeah I see your point. The Sennheiser phones on the deal I mentioned above look far flashier with metal frames and whatnot.
Beware Massdrop has shipping times of a month or more so don't expect to receive these before Xmas.
If you want them for <$35 then it's either here or eBay, both will take around the same time.
I honestly can't see the point in this Massdrop deal when you can get them for $49 shipped with Australian warranty and shipping, but these guys are out of stock :/

I'd go these actually, if you don't care about paying extra:
They're awesome ear buds, I bought a few of these at $50 as they aren't terribly durable, last around 2 years before developing some kind of defect. (Warranty is 1YR.)
I'm using Yuin PK2's now which have a somewhat improved sound, but I'd recommend the PK3's over ANYTHING for less than $100 unless you're after in-ears (which these are obviously not).
Most ear buds are hopeless (especially the Apple variety) but these are superb.
