Best EarBuds for under $40

What are some of the best ear buds I can get for under $40

I would love to have some Bose Quiet Comfort 20's but I don't have $300 for ear buds or headphones so...

Right now I'm contemplating going back to Coloud Pops, or do the new loop ones sound better?

What other Brands & Models should I consider?

I'm currently using these

And I'm using a Nokia Lumia 1520...

I just want the best sound I can get for the price, and I would like for the ear buds to not be ugly

These had a good writeup on NeoWin. In your price range too.

Personally I don't think you can get better than a set of Sony MH1C's - cheap with incredible sound. It's a J-cord headphone and I'd recommend getting some foam tips and you'll be set for years!
