Ive not decided how much im willing to pay yet, around £30ish, maybe more, better less?
I dont like ones that go like 5 inches in your ear drum, and they have to be in-ears. fussy huh?
any suggestions welcome though. especially any cheap sites.
Cant go wrong with Sennheisers IMO given your price point and requirements. MX550s can be had for £20.
Yep I got a set of Sennheisers for about £32 about a year ago, only lasted 4 months though. The wire kept getting caught in my jacket zip, so the plastic coating came off.
Still, they were superb.
Yeah, theres a Sennheiser phone in your future.

Open back (better soundstage, but annoys other people):

Theres a billion more models of course. :lol:
I <3 my Sony MDR-300. Nice bass. Nice sounds all round.
Rarely use them like, but theyre good when I do.
Think you can pick up some Shure EC2s for about £40 these days. Probably the best of the budget range imo.
