Can anyone on here recommend a decent set of earphones which aren't too pricey but will stay in the ears fairly well?

I use Sennheiser CX 300II and really like them, Good sound quality and stay in my ears which I have had issues with in the past.

+1 for the CX300s.

Also cheap, have a look on Play.com

Personally never liked the CX300s. I've got a pair of Skullcandy Asym that I'm really happy with. Great sound (Better base and sound blocking than the CX300s) and the cable goes over your ear before you stick them in so they can take a real tugging before they come out.

Should be able to get them for £17 no problem.

The CX300s are an ok budget option, I personally have had Ultimate Ears for 3 years now after moving over from Shures and have been very impressed.

A good review [url= http://www.hifiheadphones.co.uk/best-headphones-top-10.html ]HERE[/url] , also a good place to buy, I've been very impressed with their customer service 8)

They suggest the SoundMAGIC PL30 are the best budget option for 35 quid.

Another +1 for CX300s. I tend to lost headphones on a regular basis and CX300s are cheap and sounds very good for the price.

Atomic Floyd

Airjax Ti2 or Twistjax are where it's at.

^^^^

Can get them for ~£25 on eBay though.

Read a fair few reviews of them in the Hifi forums and they recieved pretty much universal praise, recommended them to a mate and he loves them, I borrowed them for an hour and was suitably impressed, it's what I'll be getting when I no doubt break the current pair. 10+ pairs of headphones in < 2 years is annoying.

Ultimate Ears, I prefer them to the CX300's they replaced. Better isolation from outside noise & a richer sound.

Sennheiser OMX 90 down from £50 to £13 at Play.Com. Mine arrived today and sound great - more detail & clarity than booming bass but depends what you like. Over-the-ear hooks keep them in, I must have oddly shaped ears as I have yet to find any which stay in without some kind of band/hook.

ok, i have forgiven the PL30's for the lack of angles as they come with loads of different ear pieces and get great reviews. order placed amazon 19.99 delivered. +1 for my easily lead co-worker.

thanks for the advice all.
