The cat has chewed through the cable of my Senheiser CX300s, rendering one side useless. Am happy to replace with another pair of the same, but before I do wondered if it's worth going for the higher models or any other Brands worth looking at. Budget up to £50.

Need to be in-ear type, so none of this beatz stuff all the yoots are wearing ta.

I had some Creative ones for years that I thought were very good. In hindsight, they were a little bass heavy.

When they bit the dust, I settled on a pair of lower end Klipsch buds. They were a bargain at the time for 14quid and seem much more balanced than the Creatives. I can hear lots of little details that I've never noticed before. So, out of the 2, I'd say I prefer the Klipsch.

I got some iBeats buds with my phone and thought they were awful. Really muddy sound that only leant itself to listening to bass/beat heavy toss. Well made though, very solid feeling. They were ebayed quite quickly.

That might be helpful, might not. My thought on the matter is that they only get shoved in my pocket, not much point spending a fortune. Finding that sweet spot between price/audio quality can be quite difficult.

I had a pair of the Klipsch, and I really disliked their sound quality. These, however, I really like:

I have a couple of pairs of the M6P Sport, from a 10% off, BOGOF deal, and they're fantastic, detailed, great bass when burned in, and the remote controls my 160Gb iPod Classic as well. What's not to like?

This may sound obvious, but can't you just fix them ?

It's only a bit of copper wire.

Crystals will be out of alignment.

I've got some Sony in-ear headphones somewhere, think they were about £20. No idea where they are though 🙁
