One great source of dirt cheap audio gear like earbuds, headphones, and mini speakers is the 5 Below store. Each location is jam packed with fun products that cost less than $5. On one visit, I made an impulse purchase of a set of Vanquish Stereo Headphones for $5. These headphones are marketed under the "Live. Love. Music." brand name.

Construction. The headphones are made from plastic. The plastic seems to be softer than the hard plastics used in more expensive headphones. The earcups and connecting arch are covered with fake leather. However, these earphones have held up fairly well. I've fallen asleep on them and treated them fairly roughly without any problems.

Sound. The sound from these headphones is acceptable. The dynamic range for these headphones is 20hz to 20khz. They have 40 millimeter drivers. In terms of specs, they seem to be decent. However, these headphones don't seem to be quite a loud as entry-level name brand headphones. This might make them a good choice for children and teens.

Overall, these earphones are worth the $5 price tag. But, if you are serious about sound quality, you can do better with just a little more money.
