New headphones? Senns or Sony?

I bought a pair of Philips in ear headphones about 2 months ago, but due to the fact they don't stay in my ears with either of the medium or large buds on, I chucked them in the bin. So now I'm looking for a better set.

I have read on here that senns are usually pretty decent and from past experience, so are Sony in ear 'phones. I have roughly £20 to buy a new pair and was wanting some opinions as to what to buy. I need to order in the next 24-36 hrs as I need them asap (moving house very soon - don't want to drag the thinking time out too much)

I'm not entirely sure whether I want to go for in-ear or a wrap around (neck) style - I haven't had any problems with other in ear phones, just the philips ones I binned earlier. I do have a pair of Skullcandy overhead ones, but I prefer to use them with the laptop - They look too big to wear when going for a walk.

any suggestions

I've got a pair of Sennheisser CX300's. Excellent bass on them but I was lucky to get a genuine pair off Amazon for £10!

When it comes to cheap ear and headphones you can't go too far wrong with most Sennheisers imo

thanks for the replies. I'm glad I ordered the senns cx300 after mystic eddys post as I have just checked play.com again and have noticed they have INCREASED the price from £16.99 to £29.99 all the the space of 36 hours!!! How ridiculous is that - they have the black ones selling at £29.99 however the same 'phones in silver sell at £17.99.

How bizarre!!

I second the choice. I always found Sony headphones mediocre.
