Default Need new headphones!

The headphones I have right now are some Creative "premium" ones. They came with my brother's SB Audigy 2 ZS notebook edition. It's the same ones they package with the Zens. Very nice headphones, used to be clear, but very bass responsive. Now these headphones have used up their life. The cable is torn in multiple locations, I had to resolder the left headphone back together (yeah, I know, ghetto, but it works), etc.

So, I need new headphones. . But me, being brown, am hella cheap and looking for the cheapest good headphones. I came across these Sennheisers today and was wondering if anyone has had them?
Newegg.com - SENNHEISER MX400 3.5mm Connector Earbud Portable Stereo Headphone - Retail

For $10, it's not a bad deal! And according to one reviewer (who has had the same Zen headphones I've had), he said that they were virtually alike but clearer. Sennheiser also boasts their bass capability, which is what I'm all about.

So, what do you guys think? Yay or nay?

Wow, that was a long post.

EDIT: Here's a pic of the headphones I have currently.

Well, at ten bucks it's not like you're gonna be taking a big risk. For my laptop I have a Logitech Bluetooth headset. OverClock Intelligence Agency: OverClocking the World, one PC at a time!

They've been fantastic and I've been using them for quite some time now. I think I payed about 30 bucks for them on a woot.com deal. As far as portable music players go I've got about 5 different headsets from Sony active earbuds to logitech wrap arounds and they all hurt my ears. I'm currently investing in some Sony noise cancelling earbuds, I tried some that a coworker had and they actually work, and are quite comfortable.

I would like earbuds though. I run a lot... it's useful to have buds. Of course, I can't run much anymore with a iPod Video. I found a Nano, but I was a nice person and gave it to my brother.

My cell phone has an MP3 with headphones that are very bass responsive as well. Perfect for my running. I'm buying a 1GB microSD card very soon.

But yeah, I still need headphones for my video for daily use and these are very appealing.

i would suggest getting those sennheiser earbuds, and a set of sennheiser, or skull candy cans
the GI's and Ti's are great, (skull candy) and the HD201's are great also, (sennheiser)
all those headphones listed are under $50 if you shop around, and the Ti's sound better than bose.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826159911
you are using creative earbuds currently, so i guess if you wanna keep on using them, you should consider these "bad boys".

Hadn't had much of chance to surf in the past two days... I'll look at home though.
