Ear phones, which ones ?

[cat171]

I'm fed up with cheapy ones which fell out of my ears when I run, I want a proper(ish) pair.

I'm looking at Sony mdr-ex85 premium at the min, they are £40 though (bit much)

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5347579.htm

Any others around that price range which are good ?? Or anywhere where I can get them for less ??
I've seen them on ebay for £20.00 buy it now - but they are returned ones, they are un toched though. The auction just lists an general overview on their returns, so they maybe ok.

Ideally I wanna pay about £30 for a pair.

These were recommeded the other day: sennheiser cx300.

What Hi Fi says 5*

http://whathifi.com/Review/Sennheiser-CX300/

Can be had for around £20 I think.

Sennheiser generally all been very good over the years.

Used to be a lot of fakes around, not sure how it is now so make sure you get em somewhere guaranteed to be real.

 

[David]

as above

 

[Justin]

+1 for the cx300

 

[172Ben]

+1 for cx300, very very good quality. Comfy in the ear aswell

little bit over your price range but i had the same problem (earphones kept falling out etc) so these are custom made and comfy as you like. you can hardly feel them in your ears. the sound quality is amazing as well, plenty of bass etc.

a quality product IMO if you don't mind spending a *little* bit more

 

[Vish]

^^^ a "little" more indeed.....!!!!!

I need the CS wage!

ps. how big are your guys' ears??? I have the smallest buds on my Sony Ericsson earphones and they never fall out.

 

[Deeg]

I was about to recomend the Sennheiser (sp?) but every one else had, lol.

They are quality, far better than the last Sony ones that I had.

Think you can get them for about £20 from HMV if you want them in your hand tomorrow.

 

[cat171]

I have some Sennheiser (sp?) ones at the min, they are white, that's all I know

I'll look into the model of the ones mentioned

Fpmsl !! have a word dude !! They are three times my budget !

Gotta love this place sometimes

The CX300 will fall from your ears when they get sweaty, least the reviews suggest it. You want some buds with an over-the-ear support if they're for yogging.

 

[DeeKay86]

have used cx300's for 2 years, same pair. they last forever! cant reccommend enough! The sound bass everything is BRILLIANT

Fpmsl @ yogging, yeah they will be.

Hmm i've got an ipod on the way, my bro has one he said that the ear bits were good till they disentegrated :dapprove: he said just to sod the ipod ones off & go aftermarket.

I want to use the sienheiser (sp) ones instead (if I get them) - I can't be doing with them falling out though

[Vish]

I'm not that keen on those ones.

 

[Tim172]

CX300s are brilliant but you do get noise through the cables, might not be too good for exercise?

 

[DeeKay86]

Ive never had noise through the cables!?!??!

Hmmm!!

 

[cat171]

I've been reading through a lot of reviews on the cx300's most rate them, but a lot don't !
Play.com has 131 reviews on it, over all they say 4/5 for them, but some folk only give them 1/5 ! They are only £17.99 on there though !


Hmmm, anyone got the sony ones I mentioned ? Or any other sony ones ?

 

[Cookie]

I've got some expensive sony jobbys

Can't remember which model, but the sound is ace

 

[cat171]

How much were they & are they ear bud type ones ?

 

[Cookie]

How much were they & are they ear bud type ones ?

80 quid I think, and yeah right in ear bud things

Not like that cheapo Apple tat

 

[cat171]

I'm looking at ones for about £40 rrp (I obviously wanna pay less though)

 

[Cookie]

Tbh most of the Sony ones will be fine

 

[Leeshez]

My ipod ones fall out too. Does anyone recomend any more? Are the wrap around ones any good? If so which ones are good? Lee

 

[Cookie]

Sennheiser CX300's tbqfh.

 

[Aluco]

I have skull candy in ear smokin' buds

Sounds decent don't fall out during exercise and have a lifetime warranty.

Think they were about £20-£30

 

[Leeshez]

Thanks guys. I think i saw the Skull candy ones in currys .

 

[Topgeartom]

Just had some new Koss Spark Plug's delivered this morning. Had Koss Plugs many years ago and was hugely impressed, then switched to the sparkplugs. After about 4 years of abuse the left earphone stopped working so bought a new set a couple of days back.

Really good bass from them, they are an in ear headphone so dont fall out either. Can be had for about a tenner too. Awesome value

 

[sneeks]

Sennheiser CX300's tbqfh.

Collecting a set of these in the morning from the local sorting office. £17.99 delivered from Amazon.

 

[The Hoff]

Get some Jays for under £50. Over £50 I'd recommend my Shure SE-210's.

 

[winko]

+1 on the skullcandy, get the full metal jacket ones or smokin' buds are pretty good.

 

[The Hoff]

Skullcandy are fine, if all you ever listen to is DnB. Muddy sounding things, much like Sony!

 

[ChrisR]

I've been using cx500s for about 18 months and they are great
