Headphones

[Finnegan]

Oh my days.

These headphones + this player + Daft Punk's Discovery on FLAC = erection.

Grab yourself some Plattan Urbanears. It's collapsable and it has the sane controlling device as of the new iPhone earphones. About £45 on Amazon. I've got one Mocha coloured <3

Simple answer???

V-Moda xflpr. They are class! Plenty of online reviews saying they are better than beats, nice chrome. Only slight issue, for an hour plus, they can't make your ears ache.

AMAZING build quality if you look after them too, clever cable too to stop damage and tangling, ridiculously strong and clever shaped connectors aswell to prevent being pulled out with force.

Has anyone mentioned http://www.head-fi.org/ yet?

I'd get some Sennheiser's - or at least try some. They made such a difference.

I'm after some reasonable in-ear headphones that won't cost the earth, they're only for commutes so I don't need anything too fancy but I don't want it to sound like I'm listening to music through a tin.

Any suggestions?

Can't argue at that price either!

[Finnegan]

Yup, Soundmagic E10s. ****ing love them.

 

Got my missus hooked as well. Honestly, I'm surprised people still need to ask! The entire planet should own a pair by now.

£4 from amazon for a set of galaxy s4 headphones. Theurr much better than anything I have tried up to £15

[StanSP]

I've got Sennheiser CX300 II Precision in-ear ones. Only £30 and have lasted me ages. Very resilient, too. I know some headphones can take a battering sometimes but these are pretty solid.

I never thought I'd move from Sennheiser but I tried the E10's and the difference was notable.

[Finnegan]

They've even survived being dropped in my tea twice with no substantial loss of sound.

My E10s and Sansa Zip Clip survived a cycle in the washing machine.  Beat that

[potter3]

Got some E10s after my CX300-IIs mysteriously disappeared after being borrowed, can't say I find the E10s to be noticeably better, but they're both a similar price so that's fair enough. Though when I got the Sennheisers they were about £9 on Play, but I'm sure that was a mistake...

mine have been through about 4 cycles in the washing m/c and have had no noticeable damage. Bloody daughter's hid them somewhere now though and I can't find them...

[Basingstoke Fox]

Just ordered a pair of E10's having been a long time Sennheiser CX300 fan. I'm expecting good things.

I don't think you'll be disappointed Let us know how you get on.

First impression is that they're good! Especially for £24. That's trying them out with a few different types of songs aswell.

 Nice to hear if you'll excuse the pun

My Soundmagic E10s have only just given up after 5 years, making them my longest lived headphones by some margin.

 

Can anybody convince me to buy anything else? I've seen reviews on What Hifi of more recent stuff that they rate but user reviews on Amazon et al are a bit lukewarm at best

Personally, I'm still a big fan of Sennheiser products, that includes their in-ear headphones. Unfortunately, the CX400-II are no longer available, so I had to go for a different pair in their line-up.

 

Alternatively, take a look at this:

Bit more expensive than the e10s but worth every penny

Are you a satisfied customer, and if so, how long have yours lasted for?

Very satisfied. Only had them a couple of months, though im not sure how you managed to keep a pair of in ears going for 5 years 

The mic / remote is very handy (although a little fiddly).
