    MP3 cans

    Thinking of buying some new headphones for use with my iPod and other MP3 player.

    Any recommendations?

    Don't want to spend more than £30 and prefer the inner ear type.

    i'm using

    jvc ha-fx66

    about 20 quid in duty free iirc

    i like the fact that they come with various ear fillers and don't fall out.

      Shure. The cheapest ones (about £50?) are the best I've ever used.

      I couldn't justify spending more than that when I have a habit of loosing/breaking earbuds.

        I've got some Sony bluetooth ear-buds for my MP3. I like these as ear-buds are the only type that fit into my ears and stay there.
        It's Deja-vu all over again!

            although if you want to think like a contractor then get some Ultimate Ears 11 Pro, custom molded to your ears, just $1150..

            "Since each custom personal monitor is handmade to perfectly fit your ear, you will need to schedule an appointment with a qualified audiologist near you to create an ear impression of each of your ears."

            plan b coming along, taking wax ear imprints of the rich and famous for "ooo not THAT much"

              Interesting idea. Though the lazy amongst us will just let our natural earwax build up. Can you do anything with that!?

              As for what earphones for under 30 quid? I recommend the ones that come with the player. Any others for that sort of price aren't likely to be much of an improvement, except maybe psychologically. They all have crap bass. Time for the ghettoblaster to make a comeback.

                Goldring GX200 here, though around 50 notes as well. As already said any more is a waste as they normally meet an untimely end!!!

                  have a look at sennheiser, their inner ear ones are very good, you can usually get a decent pair for under 50 squids

                    Another recommendation for Sennheiser here. I've had mine for nearly 5 years (almost as old as my iPod - yes I have the old brick pre-video one) and they're still going strong.
