[Closed] Light, cheap on-ear headphones

What's good in the headphone world at the moment? It's for the Mrs who doesn't like in ear phones, but also doesn't like big over ear headphones. So we're after something a bit like we used to have on our Walkmans (Walkmen?) in the 80s and 90s, I guess.

Not really fussed about sound quality as she doesn't care. Cheap (around £15), light and comfy are the main requirements.

Any suggestions?

Sennheiser mx365 are pretty good.

But so are the cheap JVC ones you can pick up in Adsa et al.

SoundMagic are pretty good. You can nearly always pick up last year's model at a good price

+1 for Soundmagic. I recently got some of their E11 in ear headphones and I've heard things in songs that I've never noticed before in 20 years of listening.

@unovolo those JLab look good, I don't suppose you know of anything similar that's cabled? I'm not super anti BT headphones, but for this it's just another thing to go wrong...
