Hey guy I need some help here - I'm looking for the best headphones that are around or under $20. I would prefer the ear-loop type, even if it means giving up a little quality. Thank you!

The iphone comes with headphones. Do you not like them?

Agree ^
I don't think you'll find anything better than the stock earbuds in that price range.

I know you would prefer the ear loop, but these would be your best bet. The price is right too. (A steal really, considering the retail price). I've picked up two since they've dropped this low.

Are those any good ^? I was thinking of either those or Sennheiser CX-300.

Sennheiser makes great headphones. But for a few bucks more i would go with the Ue buds. Because you get the mic/play,pause, skip function. The sound quality is very good. Like most ear buds, you need to break them in for a short period of time.

Check out Costco online. Forget the brand, but they are very good in-ear headphones priced at $20-$25. I think it's Lennek or something along those lines.

I have 2 pairs of Skull Candy Inkd ear buds.
They are cheap and sound great.

I have modded my apple buds to have skull candy buds on them and they are awesome.

I agree. The Skullcandy in-ears are very decent and cheap. They're easy to find as well. Looking into Apple stuff, it gets a little more expensive and to be honest, I am not a huge fan of their special in-ears.

Sony makes some decent ones, and Sennheiser does as well. It's really a matter of personal preference and price point.

As a music man myself, I use skullcandies for casual listening, but I have Sennheiser studio recording headphones for serious occasions.

Having used a lot of different headphones, I recommend Skullcandy. Just my take.
